Holding an EMF detector too close to an RF source does not give valid measurements unless you use an antenna/detector probe designed for that. The typical log-periodic antenna used on these devices is primarily effective for measuring background EMF and not nearby point-source EMF.

It appears annual dental X-rays can cause benign tumors in one's brain. That is based on a medical study. Kindles have no where near that risk.
Folks should only have dental X-rays every three years but most still go with the annual X-rays.
Its true the Lutron is a primitive EMF detector but it can be purchased at a reasonable price. High grade Geiger counters sell at Amazon for $ 550 and up and require an annual re-calibration at additional cost. I'm sure ownership of a Kindle does NOT warrant that cost.
When the nukes start flying, I'm sure all of us will buy a high grade Geiger counter just to test our food before we buy it. They do that right now on the East Coast of Japan after the Fukishima disaster affected their food supply.
Finally, the HUGE reading one inch from the back of my PC is significant. A special polnting device is NOT required to see that. On the other hand, how many folks sit one inch from the BACK of their PC every day?
Microwave ovens generate huge amounts of EMF waves. Thus, my wife never uses our microwave oven at all. I've seen studies relating their use to an increased frequency of eye cataracts.
Folks, who wear defibrillators or pace makers, have a much lower tolerance of EMF and gamma radation. Perhaps those folks should buy a high grade Geiger counter and a high grade EMF detector. They should consult with their doctors on their tolerance for all the varieties of radiation and govern their lives accordingly.
