Taking My iLiad On Holiday

bryanzs · 08-06-2006, 02:41 AM

I've been using the iLiad for the past few weeks here in hot, dry Arizona, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with using the iLiad in a humid, tropical environment. I'm hoping to be taking it on vacation with me to the Carribbean, but am a little worried that the dampness might affect the device...

I thought I recalled some very early technical postings warning about a lack of water-resistance in e-Ink devices. Anyone used their iLiad around a pool or the beach? How paranoid do I need to be?

I haven't taken the iLiad to the pool or beach, although I did splash the screen with some drops of water the other day, and that was ok. But I live in a VERY humid place, avg. yearly humidity 69%, and in the middle of a heat wave (aprox. 100º the other day, with a thermal sensation of 122 due to humidity), and my iLiad's fine (better than me!).
