Personally, I would have no problem taking my Kindle to the pool or beach. One of the reasons I purchased eink was because I can read it outside.
Good points. Since it is easy to browse around for new authors, novels and subjects at a favorite bookstore, it would be nice to go to the counter and have a chosen work be downloaded to one's reader; thus encouraging patronage by choice to a local business.
