I will test that, when on holiday

but found this....

With what little I know about the physics of the eInk display, I'd be surprised if it weren't normal for it to slow down a bit when hot. It is, after all a mechanical process and the expansion of those little spheres might very well give rise to fiction effects. Maximum ambient operating temp is only 95F (I say "only" because I'm in Texas and it gets much hotter than that in the summer).

The new display on the K3 may very well be more sensitive to this.
