I read online that you can put it in a sealed bag with some rice and I did that while I went out. I came back and it was trying to update, but stalled. Then right before it came back! I am so relieved! Amazon is one evil bullshit corporation, but I need to read and thank god it came back. I would happily pay 15% extra for all my books if it would go directly to the staff in Amazon sweatshops. Form more unions you buggers, take them down!
Best thing when something like that happens is to put it in a box with rice before switching it back on, let it dry out completely first

Or leave it in a box of rice overnight and an Asian will sneak into your house and repair it for you
Where is Miles going to find an Asian?

I can't imagine reading stuff on a kindle but with hundreds of books lining the walls could do with the space. No smell, no touch, no pate turning sound....ewww
