Is the 5th gen the last Kindle that can be controlled from inside a waterproof enclosure?

My plan is to pick up another model just like it somewhere online, but wondering if there's another alternative.
What is a "drybag"? I've never had any problems using any of my paperwhites or my Voyage from within a ziplog bag, as Cinisajoy mentioned. (every other capacitive touchscreen device works in ziploc bags as well, btw)

The only touchscreen device that I have that doesn't work in a ziploc bag is my Kobo Aura HD, I believe because it uses an infrared touchscreen rather than capacitive.
