If you get a Kindle you might want to install Amazon's Kindle for PC on your computer. Calibre will need to have it installed for certain operations. The usual procedure is to download your books to Kindle for PC, drag them into Calibre and convert them.
If you'll only be reading on the Paperwhite you can forget all that. Just download directly to the Paperwhite from Amazon.
Personally I think the Paperwhite is an excellent choice. The only thing it lacks that you asked for is waterproofing and for the bathtub you might try putting it into a baggie. I'm not sure how well the touch screen works through a baggie but it probably will. I do know you can see the screen just fine through it.
Amazon also has some waterproof containers for Kindles. I have no idea how good they are.
