thank you very much for all of your replies and sorry for the late respond (got an accident and hurt my back)

I use a kobo wifi (no touch screen). Right now, most of my reading time is when I am walking outside (but luckily there is not much rain here).

I did some search for related words, interestingly googling "waterproof kobo" resulted with this thread as the fifth. Amazon and ebay selled a few things for 10$ - 25$ (including delivery). The better ones are a bit too expensive for a reader less than 80$ so I am more inclined to DIY.

I am thinking of a (double) DVD case, plastic tape over the button, with hard clear thing (I am not sure what) over the screen.

About mixing gadget with water, I accidently put the original head set for my iphone through a long wash in the washing machine and it still worked fine after that.
