You really don't have to worry about getting the main body wet though. Then giving it lots of time before trying to charge it. ![]() This can be done by avoiding pouring water directly in to it, and giving it a good shake if it does get wet. The *only thing* that is important is to make sure the port is dry before charging. I have both an ereader and a phone with this technology, it is not a big concern. I think it is fine if it gets wet, even in those cases the other poster mentioned. That's a little dissapointing since considering how they advertise it. Thanks for clarifying the waterproof guidelines. Have fun with your device & happy reading! I don't quite trust it, but maybe that's just me. Getting an ebook reader wet is just a scary idea for me, even if the device is supposedly waterproof. And how to dry it when you don't know how much water there still is inside of things? bowl of clear water and dip it into that a few times? I have no idea. Now what's the best way to "rinse" an ebook reader? Certainly not the water tap running at full blast. they don't mention anything about water getting inside the device.) But H2O2 still has the same text in its user guide. (Well, it was the original H2O where water could not get inside if everything worked as expected. This will extend the life of your eReader.Īnd that's just about "getting wet with", not submerged into. Rinse it with fresh water immediately after and dry it before use. If your eReader gets wet with any of the following I'm not too worried about epsom salts with a device they say you can use by a pool full of chemicals or an ocean of. I've never dropped my ereader before and hopefully won't start, but you never know. The waterproofing is a precaution, in case I get it wet accidently. I have no intention of purposely getting it wet. I'd love to see a device that actually has both (a proper protection against water like the original H2O, plus additional coating inside anyway) but it does not exist. (Electronics in a closed case takes ages to dry though)Īnd it's bad enough with clear water, but salt? Or dirty bathwater? It's fine if the device is waterproof but you don't want to grow mold inside it either. And if water does get inside by accident after all, make sure it gets back out asap. Treat it like you would a non-waterproof device. So read in the bath but don't dip or rinse it deliberately. If it's possible to add an extra layer of protection (like a clear ziploc bag, if it agrees with the touchscreen technology) I'd definitely do that.Įven if the device is waterproof, try to minimize the exposure to water. I have some doubts about any waterproof eReader really. At least in theory - provided the glue was still good and the hatch properly closed (not easy to tell). The original H2O did not have waterproof coating anywhere, but a seal all around (glue for the display, hatch for the sdcard/usb slots) that would prevent water from entering the device in the first place. I'd love some insight on any other pros and cons between the two if you have it. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how noticible the weight difference between the two is? Is the h20 small/light enough to read one handed? Are there any pictures of the two devices side by side? Because of my condition it can be tiring to carry my purse with too much weight in it. ![]() The main reason I'm also considering the Clara is that it's lighter. Has anyone had any issues with theirs that I might need to know? Does the touchscreen work well if your hands are wet? How many of you actually use the h20 in the bath? It bothers me that the usb port is exposed. The h20 would be great because I take a lot of epsom salt baths for pain. I can't decide between the Clara and the Aura h20 2.īecause of some health problems I suffer from chronic pain and fatigue. ![]() I currently have a glo hd which I love, but have decided to upgrade. ![]() Hello! I'm new to the forum, though not to kobo.
