Have you tried the newest Kindle? I've found that I actually read more with it since it's so easy to carry around.
- robin_reala 16y agoCan I carry it into the bath and read it there? I’m not sure why ebook reader manufacturers aren’t tapping this market.
- robgough 16y agoI thought people were just putting them inside large sandwich bags? !! DISCLAIMER - I've not been brave enough to try this with my iPad2 yet
- robin_reala 16y agoGuess that’d work but yep, would be a little frightening. Seems like an obvious thing for the Kindle to get though. Give it wifi/3G for data transfer and Touchstone (or equivalent) for power transfer, and you don’t need a single port. Then just seal the case up.

A: I’ll tell you what I do. I take a one-gallon Ziploc bag, and I put my Kindle in my one-gallon Ziploc bag, and it works beautifully. It’s much better than a physical book, because obviously if you put your physical book in a Ziploc bag you can’t turn the pages. But with Kindle, you can just push the buttons. Q: What if you dropped your Kindle in the bathtub? A: If it’s sealed in a one-gallon Ziploc bag? Why don’t you try that experiment and let me know.
- sireat 16y agoI can personally attest that you can carry and read in the bath with your e-reader. Granted, the humidity must not be great for it. If someone comes up with a water proof cover for popular e-reader models, surely there would be a market for it.
