I wasn't that ready for this event, but it is really good to know for the next time.
Although the kindle internals ( especially visible under the battery ) show signs of stains and probably corrosion, I would hardly venture in rinsing it after being soaked.
but yes I shoud have used a fan or a small circulator, luckily the winter we got here (japan) is still quite dry.
