Dear All:

The EZ Reader and Pocket PRO are made by the factory in China. As you know, the area around Shanghai can get very, very hot. That may or may not explain why severe cold might effect the screen. The panels (screens with E-INK) are made in Taiwan... also very hot.

I would not recommend reading your Pocket PRO while snowboarding!!
