I use a vacuum sealer when I need to waterproof my readers. The great thing about it is that there is no loose feeling because the plastic is tight and snug on the reader. The only problem I have had doing it this way is sealing it too tight. As soon as it's snug, I stop the vacuuming process and hit the "seal" button. If I let it truly suck all the air out, it usually depresses the buttons a little, which is why it's a little harder with the Kindle than the Sonys. It's a timing thing to get it snug, without the buttons getting depressed.

BTW, the touch screen works flawlessly. Because its so snug, I did turn it on before sealing because the seal is right on the power button and really hard to slide over once sealed.
