Exposing the Kindle and any other electronic device to extremely powerful magnetic fields like in a MRI machine may damage it from inducing currents in the circuitry or interfering with the operation of inductors in the power supply. I've had a few MRI scans to help a friend who is doing their PhD in medical imaging and the type of scan used was sufficient to induce slight involuntary muscle movement in my arms and shoulders. Unfortunately you're going to have to get a paper book for reading in the MRI room. |

Correct AGAIN !

Thanks for that insight. I think you are right again. The cause was probably RFI and I cancelled my order for that EMF tester. You saved me $ 72 for that device. I'll settle for my replacement K3 unit which I will get Wednesday. If it fails in Church, I just won't use it there. My NowBible is just as good for that purpose. Every device has it's limits and we just have to live with them. Its even possible a lot of these "problems" reported here may be just user misjudgements or errors. Had I known what you just posted here about RFI, I probably would not have ordered a replacement K3. Since I already did, I'll use the replacement instead. |

![]() Sort of OT but always makes me smile (and wince too): There's a paper taped on the ceiling of the entry to it, with a red letter warning: "Last chance - ugly, painful things will happen..." and some words about it not being worth your shyness over intimate body piercings. ![]() |

The one I go to must be more shielded than most. Even though it's one of the 4Ts (most I think are still 1 - 1.5T), they don't have a problem with metals in the room, until you're at the opening of it.

Yes. Most MRI machines are at or under 1.5T. The ones above that are more advanced with better resolution and also significantly more expensive.
