I've taken my reader on 2-3 vacations so far; I leave it in my bag by the pool, under the towel and have had no problems. Also no problems with glare, since I only sit in the sun for 20 min or so, and notice no problem taking it inside. I mostly swim within site of my chair anyway. If I take a walk on the beach my husband usually hangs out in the chair and plays guard duty. I haven't read a paperbook since I got my first reader 2+ years ago. The reader is also great for the plane ride (after take off and landing, during which they make you turn it off).
When you're in Cancun look for one of the tours that takes you to Chichen Itza, Ek Balam (fantastic new ruin found in 1996), with a swim in an underground cenote (near Chichen Itza). It's a long day but great to see all of them. If you have another free day I recommend Xplor, which is a new park opened near Xcaret with a zip line, underground cave swim, etc. It's new and basically undiscovered and uncrowded. Xcaret is an ecopark and while fun to see, is getting pretty crowded. Akumal is great for snorkeling. Some people like Xel-ha for snorkeling but I find it very crowded with little to see for the cost. We've been to the Playa del Carmen/Cancun area 10-12 times and really enjoy Mexico.
Best of luck with your medical services while there; hope it works out successfully for you!
