Cats are trouble, even while they are great.
I cringed, too. That's awful. I have cats that are feisty like that too. But my luck would have been a Kindle in the tub instead of a book.
No worries. Put the Kindle in a ziploc bag. There have been reports of people scrambling for them at the bottom of a hot tub for a couple minutes in a ziploc, and the Kindle came out fine!
Cool. I did not know this. Thanks for the advice :)
:D I don't do it, but that's because I keep forgetting to put it in the ziploc before I shower.
I don't really take baths (unless I shower first - I'm weird like that) but occasionally I think it would be nice to do so and read my Kindle. The next thought is it in the bottom of the tub, drowned. That is just too scary of a thought. I mean, I know I can get another one and that everything is backed up on the Cloud, but no I just can't ... I have too many books on there that I put on myself (r2rs and such) and notes and all that. Plus, I don't want to see it die. That's just ... sad.
I just get grabby with my Kindle after I get out of the shower, and then... wet, oh noes! So I prefer to do DTBs.
I have sometimes brought my iPhone in there, but never my Kindle. Now I won't risk that at all. Only regular books. Fortunately the book was second hand and I hadn't gotten too far into it to get invested.
Hah. Me either, but I don't take baths. Showers, and I take only DTBs into the bathroom with me.
Well I hope it dries out none-the-less. (And after reading your story, my Kindle will be going no where near any water source haha.)
That's alright.; I've done it myself when reading in the tub and have no one to blame but myself. I'd rather dunk my Kindle than my physical books actually. I can always replace an e-reader or use another device and all my ebooks are backed up so no physical loss.
Good luck with getting your book dry. Probably best not to hold our for any confessions from the felines, mischievous little scamps.
The last time I left a tub with water in it there was a SPLASH and a very annoyed cat that had to be wrapped in a blanket and told how silly he was. Heh.
