Sounds comforting to know that it held up so well along your trip. I would still hesitate to take mine to certain remote places, like the Amazon basin. Even paperback books don't fair too well down there. I remember the first night I spent there started out nice (I was roughing it in a tent), I did my usual routine of unwinding to a nice PB, went to sleep and the book was 1.5" thick, woke up and it had increased to 3" over night! Yikes, I had to leave some of my more precious reading; i.e., old/rare books, in the bags I had wrapped them in (you never know what's going to get squished out in your luggage). They survived, but the exposed books didn't fair too well due to the high himidity; not to mention a few sets of clothes didn't make it either, as they grew some strange new form of mold I couldn't launder out.
Don't know if I'd want to subject my Reader to these conditions, no telling how the electronics would fair or if they'd end up all rusted and withered inside.
Glad you had a nice trip to India!
