Devil is in the detail as I mentioned earlier. That's quite a stunning difference! I'd expect Kobo and Amazon and others using internal coatings use similar or identical products.

If your Kindle is immersed in salt water, chlorinated water, soapy water, or liquids other than fresh water, make sure you rinse that liquid out of the device with fresh water such as cold tap water. Then dry your Kindle.
Pretty much what I wrote. Same applies to keyboards, except best to disassemble at once and rinse between membranes (or mechanical switches) at once is IPA or at worst surgical spirit. Sherry, milk or milky hot drinks seem fatal, but water, black tea and black coffee flooded keyboards have been recovered.
With a phone, open and remove battery at once and rinse with IPA and about 1/3rd survival rate from total immersion in water.

But I did design electronics stuff for nearly 30 years.
