If you have a vacuum or a can of compressed air commonly used to dust out computers and keyboards , use that to blow water out of the Kindle. Do not use a hair dryer, as the heat can damage your Kindle further.
If you can open the Kindle to remove the battery, do so -- removing the battery allows you to dry it out separately from the device. If you can't, simply dry the outside of the device and blow as much air out as you can. Submerge the Kindle in rice, or some other desiccant; Popular Mechanics also recommends silica gel packets, if you have them on hand. Leave the Kindle submerged in the rice for 24 hours. This gives the rice time to draw the moisture out of the device.
To dry your Kindle, they suggest setting it upright in a well-ventilated area and the letting the excess water drain out of the micro-USB port, gently tapping the side of the device as necessary. Nowhere, does it say dry completely before using. This is to be expected. Just get it off the screen. Not just when you are charging it. Current for wifI, screen lighting, page turning etc.
Presumably there is protection against that, but it would appear it is not totally water tight. I mean current flowing across the part that is exposed which is the USB micro port. Let that part dry first before charging it. The stuff inside is sealed. You can use it wet. Some advise the use of dry rice to draw out moisture and dry out damaged surfaces. Believe it or not, it actually works and putting a water damaged Kindle in a container full of rice will have advantageous results in removing the excess moisture.
Two days should be sufficient for removal of all moisture, but you can leave the unit in the rice for as long as you like with no ill effects. Often, Kindles will operate just fine following a rice treatment. If drying the unit out doesn't have the desired results, then it will most likely become necessary to seek out a third-party repair center to repair the unit, which can be difficult since the problem may be traced to the screen, the battery, or any number of internal components.
Amazon may be the most likely source for repair options, since it is their product, and while water damage almost always voids warranties, it still may be possible to find decent repair services, even if you end up paying for them. It is probably still less expensive that replacing the unit.
