I seem to recall it's quite depending on the surface/texture on which your box is used. On the skin, on a pillow, etc., it gets considerably hotter, with fan running continuously, while on a flat surface (say: a wood table) everything is fine. You could try and maximize the distance between the bottom of the box (just below the screen, if Powerbooks and iBooks are similar) and where you're putting it, maybe using some “patafix” below the feet, so as to ease air cooling.
