That's not completely true. From the Kobo Aura One specs: "IPX8 rating. Waterproof for up to 60 minutes in up to 2 metres of water." Note that it is water PROOF rather than water RESISTANT as the watch you mentioned in a later post is. The H2O did quite have as high water proof rating, but it did have a setting for the IR touch on the screen so that water droplets on the screen didn't cause issues.
