At 70 degrees on a sunny day, after a half hour, the temperature inside a car is 104 degrees. After an hour, it can reach 113 degrees.” “When temperatures outside range from 80 degrees to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172.”

Then you take your really hot eInk Reader into an air conditioned building and if it's a glass substraight, it can shatter. Also, it's not good for the battery to be sitting in so hot temps. Atlanta, GA an get much hotter in the summer then 70 degrees. So it's not a good idea at all to keep a reader in a car that can be that hot. Same goes the other way with cold. Even a Reader with a plastic screen can be damaged in the heat/cold when brought into a building with such a temperature difference. It's not good for the electronics.
