Her bath water with a bath bomb and a cup or so of Epson salts did not qualify as fresh water and her warranty was voided though they did offer a $50 Cdn credit/gift card towards her next ereader purchase.
And the heat/steam is also not good for a Reader. Does anyone know if heat/steam can damage the waterproofing?
