If you read under an umbrella, your ereader should be fine. While the heat is definitely a problem, the direct sunlight is worse. If it is too hot, it won't turn on or will just switch off. Direct sunlight potentially will ruin it. Cousin tested her ereader recently while traveling and it worked fine in 105F. (how she stands this heat is beyond me).

From Amazon.
"Operating temperature: 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C).
Storage temperature: 14°F to 113°F (-10°C to 45°C)."

"Charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C)."
