When you’ve gotten your Kindle wet, you need to dry its inside and out for a chance to keep it in working condition. Take measures to drive out the water and dry out the innards of your Kindle, as water damage can short circuits and – if left wet for too long – cause corrosion inside the device. While many people have luck using a desiccant to draw the water out of their devices, there is no guarantee it will save your Kindle. If you can open the Kindle to remove the battery, do so – removing the battery allows you to dry it out separately from the device. If you can’t, simply dry the outside of the device and blow as much air out as you can. Submerge the Kindle in rice, or some other desiccant; Popular Mechanics also recommends silica gel packets, if you have them on hand. Writer Bio
