I bought myself & my wife Sony 505's so we could enjoy ebooks when we are outside in our pool, in the hot Florida sun. Our Nokia N800 and 770 did not cut it. Totally unreadable in bright sunlight. Enter the 505's. One blue, one silver and wonderful outside. But what about the water?

As my wife watched in horror, I tossed my silver 505 into the pool. Before doing so, I had enclosed my beloved Sony into a 1 quart zip-lock bag. My ebook was totally readable through the bag, and every control was assessable when enclosed. Not one drop of water touched my Sony.

When our Sony's go outside, they will be in their bag.
