I can't imagine that many people who really ever wanted to read *in* the pool (as opposed to poolside).
I can remember pre-touch, however, slipping my Sony into a zippered plastic bag so I could soak in the tub with a good book. (Requires physical page turn buttons and best with a non-touch screen).

I read in the pool with my ereader in a waterproof bag. Works great! Although I recognize that's not the norm. A raft with a cup holder for a cold drink and your ereader and it's a relaxing afternoon! However I think I would be hesitant to take the new Kobo in the pool with me. It's expensive compared to alternative brands. I don't care so much about waterproof or dustproof features even though a lot of my reading is done poolside and I live in the dusty desert. However the larger screen and the rest of the specs are impressive and tempting.
