        Why do you say that? I’ve put several through a washing machine and gone swimming with mine. Electronic usually are fine with water. Batteries are not.

        Just let it dry out before passing a charge through it, and it works fine. Not so easy with paper.

          I had suggested a metal plate, not paper.

            To be fair to them, you did start by saying a book would be better.

            To be fair to you, that was roughly 10% of your comment. Clearly they did not read the rest.
