I've read both my Kindle 2 and Sony T1 in the rain using an oversized ziplock freezer baggie while waiting for the bus.
It works considerably better on the K2, since the T1 seems determined to interpret even the slightest raindrop on the baggie to be a "touch", but not any of the actual touching I try to do through the plastic.
However, if you select a book beforehand and only use the physical page turn buttons after that, then it works reasonably well. That does depend on having physical buttons, though, which IIRC the newer Kobos don't.
The alternative is to stick your entire hand inside the baggie with the reader and use it as a giant glove, but that does get kind of awkward.
Also, if you're worried about moisture, a small packet of silica gel inside the baggie should help with that.
