I'm not so worried about dropping the reader in the tub as I am worried about splashing it and getting water in the device and shorting things out.

The food storage bag would certainly take care of that without building anything, and if they're actually waterproof as they advertise, then the reader can be used in the tub more safely than a paper book, since the page turn buttons will be available to press through the bag.
The Sony Reader is the third device for which I've used the ZipLoc Protection Device Strategy (TM) while reading in the tub. Works great! The reader is more convenient in the tub than a paper book is. Just one more advantage of eBooks.
