I've been interested in the Words Gear for a long time now-- one of the reasons is because it is backlit, and one of my joys is reading in bed at night with the lights out (so as to not disturb the other occupant...)

I'm about to buckle and get an e-Ink based display. I have a Nokia N800, but it is very small and the controls are very awkward for reading ebooks. I also have a Fujitsu P1610 which is rather too large, heavy, and runs HOT.

Does the Wordsgear run relatively cool? Or does it heat up at all?
