Not sure if I'd trust a $300 item to a ziploc bag. I did like the solution someone else had of using a kitchen sealer gadget.

I love tucking my CyBook in an Aquapac and reading in the bath; another area where e-reading is better than p-reading.

accordingly to a pic on the website its width is about the same as british passport. I believe the passport is quite smaller than Sony Reader (and probably CyBook? they have a similar width?) |

My Aquapac is 14cm wide and 27 cm long (but doesn't have the eyelets on the sides like the pictures on the website). |
