What would happen if someone accidentally sat on a Kimball?
Are they re-enforced for this kind of (very possible) treatment?
Or if caught in the rain and one gets wet?
If I’m going to pay 500 + dollars for one, I would like to know! 
Who the what, now?
It would help if you would tell us what a Kimball is.
I tried googling it without finding something that one might want to sit on. Maybe you should describe it.
A Google image search of this term results in nothing but pretty ladies. And one dork with a beard.
Shoehorn butterhorse, man.
Google is failing me. What’s a Kimball?
Do you mean a Kindle (and then the Kindle DX, at that price)?
If so, then I don’t think a naked Kindle would survive sitting on, but one might if it has a cover on it.
I have the Kindle 2, and it is in this leather cover. While I don’t think it would survive a full-weight sitting upon, I imagine that it would survive an accidental sit-and-get-up, like you would do if you accidentally sat on a sleeping cat.
One reviewer said that they like it because they can use it poolside, where books would get soggy. I am skeptical of its water-resistance. It’s a piece of expensive electronics and I will do my best to keep it out of the rain.
Actually, I found a manufacturer of office furniture. So some Kimballs are meant to be sat upon.
I suspect Clarissa MacDougall would kick their ass.
I’ve sat down at Kimball before.
It’s a piano, isn’t it? They can take it.
Would the OP please return and tell us what he means by a Kimball?
Kimball is a fairly common surname. With a quick Google search I was able to find at least a dozen products that could be described as a Kimball, from electron guns to medical equipment. When you add in people, places, etc. (IE the full range of nouns) the varieties of Kimballs upon which one could sit or take into the rain are vast.
Lens not resort to violence hastily!
Sit on it? Hell, you can bang your secretary on 'em and they are no worse for wear. Best $500 I ever spent.
Gotta subscribe to see WTH the OP is about…
I am almost positive he’s talking about a Kindle. For God’s sake, man, it’s a KINDLE.
But the Kindle only costs $300, not the $500+ stated in the OP.
You would get hit by a car.

You just send it to Mamazon for service…
