I'm sorry my dear doctor, but I doubted you. I couldn't believe that the product actually claims to be water
proof (vs water
resistant), until I looked at the product description myself.
I think that showers will be safe, and probably is the kind of thing that Amazon had in mind. Versus taking it on an underwater dive with you. Underwater archaeologists need to take notes while doing their work. After reaching a few feet, the water pressure would probably be so high that the Kindle will fail. I suppose that, for now, underwater archaeologists will have to stay with that special pencil that will write and paper that can be written on, when wet.
What I don't quite understand is an advertisement that I saw for a wristwatch recently. The ad stated that it is water resistant up to 300
meters (I'm not going to look up the what that translates to exactly in feet, but I know that that is well over 900 feet, and probably closer to 1,000), but not to use it for diving.
