Overheating Vampire iPads Ain't "Just Like a Book"

Apple sued for Overheating iPads: eBook Reader Outrage : Product Reviews Net:
According to this report from CNN, the iPad shuts off after a certain amount of hours, when exposed in direct sunlight. The users have said that Apple hasn’t met its promises when they said that reading on the iPad is "just like a book".

Apple’s iPad shutdown also occurs on the iPod Touch and iPhone devices, giving users the message that the device is operating at a high temperature level and should be left alone to cool down for a while.

If Apple hadn’t of said that reading on the iPad is the same as on a real book, then we wouldn’t have an issue here. Instead, there appears to be further trouble on the way for Apple.
