My worried protectiveness for my Kindle eased with time. As a result there have been mishaps and close calls. I prefer to read with the Kindle out of its protective cover and that’s proven to be a risky habit, along with sleeping and owning cats.

. Read in the hot tub with Kindle in a Ziplock. Which by the way worked well, I could turn pages right through the bag.. |
 |
. Almost stepped on Kindle lying on floor next to bed. I fell asleep reading but didn’t even realize I dropped the Kindle. |
 |
. Left the Kindle in a tote bag in the sun all afternoon on a 98 degree day. The shade moved forgot Kindle was in there. |
 |
. Dosed off while reading in an armchair and dropped the uncovered Kindle. The landing thud on rug woke me. |
 |
. Husband propped his feet on the coffee table and the Kindle. He didn’t realize his calf was resting on the back of the Kindle. I set it face down and left for only a minute or three. |
 |
. Woke in morning with Kindle in bed with me. I fell asleep reading. Late Breaking Mishap: Last night I fell asleep, dropped the Kindle which toppled to the floor banging the nightstand on the way. It was fine. Strange timing, I wrote this post weeks ago. |
 |
. Cat jumped from window sill to my nightstand landing ON my Kindle in the harder case. Smoke weighs 16 lbs. |
 |
. Cat knocked over my coffee mug on table where Kindle rested in cover but open (like a book.) Inside cover got wet but only a few droplets hit Kindle and screen. Don’t know which cat did it, both went running. |
 |
. Played addicting word game and wore “E” off the Kindle keyboard. Strangely the safest, most reasonable behavior is the one thing that caused any harm. That’s another blog post. |
