It's OK if the gadgets aren't either for a while longer.
I've killed or maimed a number of treebooks with fluids in my life - surely this is not a rare experience? Of course, when you kill one of those you only kill one. When you kill an ereader, that's all your books gone till you replace the reader, which costs substantially more than a treebook.
