Paper white not a paper weight

Yesterday at my long neglected campsite, a Kindle Paperwhite lay where it was left near three weeks ago.  During that time, it has rained and cooled many many days and nights.  Sitting on a stump, where it was last used,  it sat there in its folio case.

The screen was snow white. On it was a diagram of a usb power charger and perhaps an X.  It was damp, so it was dried.  The form fitting case was removed to find more moisture.

When it was brought back home and plugged in, the amber charging light did not come on.  Oh oh, was this now a hipster paperweight?

The screen changed from the diagram to something darker.  There was hope.  In an hour or so the amber charging indicator started to glow. Twelve hours later, that same inidcator was green,  indicating a full charge. 

Unplugged, wiped off, it synced up via whispersync and was just as good as when it was left behind.

This is one sturdy device.  It receives my whoie hearted endorsement as an out door technology tool, right up there with propane and propane accessories.  Or what not.
