That is a very bad idea. Condensation will form almost instantly, not only beneath the screen surface, but on the internal circuitry as well. That's about the quickest way to kill any electronic device. It may be "waterproof", but it's not hermetically sealed, so the internal humidity will reach equilibrium with the external.
We've had a string of 100F+ days here (about 38C), and I've been reading outside on my KOA2 each day with no ill effects. Granted, I don't sit in direct sunlight at that temperature (ouch!), but no overheating problems as yet. I seem to remember the specs saying the maximum operating temperature is 95F, so I'm clearly testing the limits...
