Knowing my wife, she might try to read in the kitchen, cookbooks or not and she might get all sorts of splashes on the reader. Should I think about a waterproof/pancake batter proof and/or a shock proof reader? Is there such a thing? I've never paid any attention to that sort of thing.
Is the kitchen just too hostile for an eBook reader device? Anything I should look out for?

Whether the kitchen is a hostile environment depends on the user, I'd say. Some cooks are neat and others don't care. A holder and perhaps a ziploc bag is a good idea though.
What I would reconsider is the device. Personally I like to be able to see the whole list of ingredients at once, for example, and a 5'' screen is very small for a cookbook. You have to turn the page back and forth. I've tried using my ebook readers in the kitchen, but have ended with preferring my netbook. More powerful for that task and still portable.
