Anyway.
When it's cold, the screen/ink starts to fade after a while, with every new refresh there is less black. I haven't (yet?) found out if it disappears altogether.

Once in the warm, it seems to "thaw" for a while (color getting stronger), then work as usual.

The temperature should be well within the storage temperatures - but how about actually using it when it's close to or even below zero (Celsius)?
Could that somehow damage the display?
I have the same thing, having been using my reader in the sub-Arctic temperatures we've been having in the UK lately. It doesn't seem to do any harm.

For other in this thread - it happens when the ambient temperature around the COOL-ER is really, really cold, i.e. less than zero degrees Celsius. If it's cold outside and you're snug and warm inside you won't see these symptoms.
