Reading in the melting sun is so much fun!

If the screen actually gets too hot I guess that might damage it. From the specs:
Operating Temperature : 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F).
As for the washed out screen in the sun, some have suggested that it might be caused by the UV radiation making E-Ink particles lose their charge and "float away", so to speak. Don't know if it's true, but sounds plausible.
