![]() Nope hasnt been submerged in about a year (when I nearly fell asleep in the bath and dropped it lol!) .....But yeah obviously some water was in it - I guessed the quantity as it was as I went to bed and so wasnt 100% awake but it was in the order of a few ml only.... But about a few months previous to that I did submerge it in fresh water, and it kept working fine. I think this was a slight deterioration of any protective coating. As my wife is using it, I can monitor it but knowing she has a Glo as backup isn't too bad ![]() Last edited by Desdinova; 01-03-2020 at 04:36 PM. |

The only other thought is whether there was an unseen spill on it but as I have a fabric-y case I didn't see any water on that. Tis indeed a mystery.

"Goodbye port covers. Utilizing HZO’s waterproof coating, Rakuten Kobo has released an IPX8 rated version of its popular Kobo Aura H2O waterproof eReader without rubber plugs needed to prevent water ingress. The first-generation product featured port covers that were required to achieve IPX7 water protection. HZO’s innovative thin-film coating solution provides the Kobo Aura H2O with unmatched protection by shielding the internal circuitry of the eReader to prevent damage caused by liquids and moisture, making Kobo’s new eReader sleeker, lighter, and safe to use anywhere, including the beach or even in the bath. The Kobo Aura H2O is the second Kobo eReader to feature HZO Protection. Kobo’s flagship product, the Kobo Aura ONE debuted last August with the same IPX8 rating and to rave reviews." It seems soap etc isnt meant to be an issue - they say " HZO protects electronics from the most demanding environments with world-class nano coatings. HZO is the global leader in delivering world-class protective nano coatings that safeguard electronics from the most demanding environments – be it water, salt, dust, dirt, coffee, or corrosive materials. We work with some of the largest companies across industries from design through production, no matter the volume, complexity, or protection required to deliver a better, more reliable and more durable water resistant and waterproof product.

Waterproof your Kobo Aura H2O (Model number N250 only) If you have a Kobo Aura H2O with a port cover on the bottom, keep the port cover firmly closed to prevent water from entering the Micro USB port and Micro SD slots. That's possibly to protect the SD card |

We sometimes have to use one here in the winter and summer, due to the way homes are constructed, in addition to the issue that central air/heat is only available to the (mostly) wealthy. |

Good thing I only fill my bath with water then. And yes, I guess it MAY have. But that wasn't the question, AGAIN the question was whether anyone else had any experience on degradation of the coating Kobo uses.

Also, don't use your Kindle in the bath or it could also end up like the KA1. |
