Just how waterproof is "waterproof" and how much difference to the non-waterproofed readers?

If you dropped your Kindle in the water, it would be done for. If you dropped a Kobo Aura H2O or a Kobo Aura One in the water, either would still work. And there's no need for a bag. You do like taking risks with your Reader. You don't have to if you get a new one that is waterproof.
