wow...I guess the first time someone kills their reading device by spilling water/coffee/soda/dropping it in the toilet (d'oh!!

) whatever and kills it your tune will likely change...and for those who feel the readers are "such low cost devices it would be too costly" to add seals have no idea about how cheap sealing is and what device can be had which are FAR MORE powerful and complex than a reader device. A fully sealed point & shoot camera can be had for under $300 and that is for a camera pressure sealed to 5-feet, not just water/environmentally sealed bodies...for example:

Face it the reason there are no sealed readers is so you do ruin them...
