It does not mean you can drop it in the ocean or swimming pool and expect it to survive, nor even expose it to a steady rainfall or lawn sprinkler. Unless the specs specifically say it is water proof to a depth of X, it is probably not as water resistant as you might think.
The Kobo Aura H2O is IP67 Certified. Waterproof for up to 30 minutes in 1M of water with port cover closed.
