How to disinfect (staph etc) a kindle ereader without using chemicals? i can't afford uv devices at the moment. use of chemicals can damage the device

No worries: I cannot imagine a reason to disinfect an ereader, even if previously used by someone with a staph infection. Just wipe with a damp cloth. Computer supply stores sell spray cleaners designed for computer screens, keyboards, etc. There is no need for an additional disinfectant.
