Can the ebook get overheated? Could it cause damage in any way? Anyone having had problems with this?

I guess, the metal housing of Sony readers is more prone to "collecting" heat than most other readers. But I wouldn't call this "hot", I 'd call it "body temperature" at best.
If it's really "hot", this seems to be a defective unit. There aren't any moving parts, battery consumption is very low - so I wouldn't know which component actually might heat up.
Can you touch it without problems or does "very hot" actually mean "painfully hot"?
What's the outdoor temperature in your region? Laying on the sand in Sahara of course would be killing the unit...
