Always On - Kindle Paperwhite's beach torture test

cnet.co/16KGTN7
We torture test the Kindle Paperwhite in the heat, sand, and water. Find out if it survives.

[@softlybaked]

brings kindle to the beach.... reads magazine.

[@cocacola31173]

Yeah in real life that kindle wouldn't have been there when they got of the water! LOL

[@CreepyRecordings]

Poor kindle.

[@gnabarra]

You can do both - slide or touch, which was included in the manual ebook inside the paperwhite.

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

You don't SWIPE to turn pages on the Paperwhite. You TOUCH either side of the screen.

[@katealmendras7624]

Fits easily in my hand and pages are easy to slide through. Love it!!!!!

I’ve killed two kindles at the beach now (pool not ocean). After the second I realized that salt water is WAY worse than fresh water. (the pools at the beach use salt water instead of chlorine). The kindle will survive for quite a while in fresh water but only seconds in salt water. Gonna invest in one of those waterproof pouches next.

[@Osama-Bon-Jovi-01]

They say on the website it can last for 3 minutes in salt water but an hour in fresh water. I'd just keep it away from water in general

[@FotoRewq]

Try to refresh the screen. Only then can you say that it works...

[@ItsTechTalkTime]

If there is water on screen the touch is erratic. Is basic!!

[@rheam3920]

Really wanted a video like this! Thanks a lot! Im sold!😁😁

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

Yes, but you end up just turning pages back and forth instead of actually progressing. Touching the right and sweeping to the left actually activates BOTH functions moving you first one page forward then turning back to the original page. I tried it. It doesn't work and so it's not cool because it makes no sense.

[@fartincow8191]

it stills works because it has water on it, it will glitches it thinks the q\water is pressing the button

[@thousandyenlight]

well I like both but I do love my kindle

[@iloveyoshi0xo]

Do people actually expect it to work after it got wet?

[@gauravmeena4487]

This lady,techrax,gizmoslip and plainrock 124 should do a partnership

[@jonathanterry7722]

In amazon's commercials they showcase people sitting in the pool, reading from their paperwhites.. You'd think that with this sort of advertising, they would try to make it at least semi-waterproof.

[@heikg]

Jonathan Terry it is now ;)

[@8-bitarcadebrawlergaming176]

i am surprised that the kindle paper tablet didn't give the temperature 🌡️ warning ⚠️

[@ArchonLicht]

Hard work - 2 hours of lounging on the beach. Hehe

[@kingsford001]

Its stupid to put it by the waves wear it can get washed away....

[@sanghamitrapattnayak3696]

please help

[@rajanpatel65]

2 hours lounging on the beach for a start! Lol.

[@Volfas]

maybe wipe off the water before using it at least..

[@aLexGeNeSiS01]

is it even water proof...!

[@SagarCubes]

Yes. Kindle paper white 4 is the latest

[@thousandyenlight]

I respect you're opinion but you should really try reading with a kindle paperwhite its really good and you read much more

[@sanghamitrapattnayak3696]

how do I fix it it got dropped into water

[@hanifali2566]

Sanghamitra Pattnayak did you fix it?

[@thisismychannel2950]

It's too late now but in the future put it in Rice immediately

[@patsomerville1310]

Omg I want that beach all up in my face!

[@shebbinho]

but seriously, who does that to a 120 bucks device? that ain't no real world situation, you can at least put a zipperbag or something over it!

[@MrTechgeeknerd]

It is jut my personal opinion, it also might be I haven't really tried e-readers...

[@thousandyenlight]

I really don't know

[@woodykiddy]

C'mon, Kindle paperwhite is not designed for water-proof!!! Y'all know what happens when it gets wet, duh :)

[@SirYelloween]

6 years later: hehehe

[@ramontrevino3170]

Now it is waterproof

[@MrTechgeeknerd]

Paper books for the win!!!!!! Nothing equals the feeling of passing actual pages...

[@obama6593]

MrTechgeeknerd but kindles are environmentally friendly as they don’t require paper made from trees, our air purifiers

[@fraznofire2508]

Obama lmfao if you think that a kindle has less environmental impact than books you have another thing coming 🤣🤣

[@WhatAnAwesomeShow]

So like are they banging or what

[@sharks445]

Congratulations! You have earned 0 fucks!

[@rajanpatel65]

First!

[@MrTechgeeknerd]

Nobody wants a kindle paperwhite

[@roo_parfrey]

I did, I bought it 2 years ago and I prefer it to paper books. It's lighter, I can read it in the dark, and books are way cheaper. Not to mention it's environmentally friendly.
