Which Kindle model is waterproof? If none, and Kindle is the best selling e-ink device, is the market really demanding waterproofing?

Aftermarket waterproofing is available, by the way.
I went to the site mentioned in that Gizmoto article (http://waterfi.com/waterproof-kindle). They want $240 for a Waterproof Paperwhite with no ads. That means the waterproofing is an additional $100.01 over Amazon's price. Steep, but Gizmoto says they do an amazing job of waterproofing. Well, not in those exact words....
