Lightbulb KK3 broken, kindle, needy for sauna
Hello I would not have open new thread if more people talk about their ereaders in saunas (and steamrooms) around here!

Today =( my kk3 broke and I got it off ebay now I am looking for new Kindle for sauna + everyday usage, I want page then buttons but if it can't be then it can't be :\ which do you guys recommend?? Of course I will keep my kk3 in any case it can be repair, it was already added new battery after I purchased it about 2 years ago. (Still fresh!!) Most likely, the device has Reached it age, the screen literally FROZE and then some of the words on the screen blurred like if ink spilled 0.0 hmm!
What do you guy thimk??
Which Kindle good for me (PLS NO SCRIBE) and
which kindle good for sauna that you guys use? Pls whoever use in sauna describe your experiences and How long you had the device!!

EDIT: 6/21
Q_Q none of you guys answer the question so I’ll go with paper white (or wait for oasis 4 if it’s NOT small to hold dear Amazon pls be 8”) and get offbrand ereader for sauna purposes. ALSO! People take their phone in there all the time … eink get less hot then fire 7 and phones

I would think a sauna exceeds the operating temperature of any ereader device out there

There is no Kindle good for use in a sauna. There is no eInk Reader good for use in a sauna. Why do you feel you need to read in the sauna?

I guess it's boring staring at the steam? Maybe a clear box with a freezer pack and remote page turn of some kind?

And when the remote page turner packs up? There is no solution that will work 100%.

I was thinking a lever inside the box operated by an outside magnet or something, or a photo sensor in the box, but not really a serious idea. The freezer pack might not last long enough...

A BT clicker won't survive a sauna!

I think the high humidity makes it even worse.

But presumably an Oasis 2 or Oasis 3 would last considerably longer than a kindle keyboard.
