The Kobo Aura One is certified for submersion for up to 60 minutes in up to 2 m of water, so that's pretty waterproof. The H2O is 30 minutes in 1 m of water. For a "non-waterproof" reader it's a matter of how lucky you get. Likely if you drop it into water and it's turned on something is likely going to short out. If you spill water on it you may get lucky and it may not get to a critical part before you dry it off or it may kill it near instantly.
