Apparently they showed it at the recent electronics show immersed in a tank of water. It floats. I think it is a great idea but will not be buying it because you cannot access the wake slider when in the container. They should not be advertising that you can access all the control because you can't. So, because the kindle turns to sleep automatically quite quickly and you cant stop it from doing so (unless you keep clicking a control) then you wont be able to wake it up. I would use a waterproof case at the pool/beach, so can imagine reading, going for a swim, wanting to read again but have to remove it from the casing in order to do so, and knowing my luck, dripping water/sand into the case while doing so.
I bought the trendy digital one off ebay but havent received it yet. I dont read in the bath so that is not a problem for me.
