I think I'll stick to p-books for tub reading. Can't use a waterproof cover on the iTouch and be able to operate the device, and I dread dropping it or splashing it.

But honestly, Monica, 70mA is enough to cause defibrillation!

I use a zip-lock bag when I take mine into the bath. Works a treat.

I've been known to listen to an audiobook, using portable speakers far from any source of water.

I've been reading electronically while taking a bath ever since I've been reading electronically (which is over 8 years). Never used a bag or anything, only simple precautions as drying my hands before picking up my device.

My preferred method is to vacuum seal the reader. The plastic is so nice and snug that you can hardly tell that it's encased in waterproofing.
