It's not like you can read underwater anyways.
One of my co-workers toasted her Samsung tablet (I think it was a Tab 3 8") by dropping it in the bathtub. She has back issues and evidently a long soak in hot water and Epsom salts helps with the pain and has fewer side effects than her prescription medication. Her tablet had a different outlook on being dropped into electrolyte rich water. Future Shop replaced it under an extended warranty -- one of the few times I've heard of where purchasing an extended warranty was worthwhile -- but she is very interested in an ereader that might survive such an accidental immersion.
