I once accidentally ran my Kindle Keyboard through the wash, and it was the heavy duty 59-minute cycle.

The screen cracked, presumably from the force of the spin. But, aside from that, it still worked perfectly. So I personally wouldn't worry too much about your, almost always, nice gentle British rain.

Of course, just because one Kindle survived immersion doesn't mean they all would.
