Milarepa Enthusiast Posts: 29 Karma: 298 Join Date: Jul 2008 Device: Sony PRS-505	The only answer for me is everywhere!! If I am anywhere my Sony Reader is with me, it has started to become a joke amongst friends and family. (Except the bath, I get those "prune" fingers much to quickly, I don't like to spend too much time in there.) Though I do have to say I want to get this done for my PRS-505 so that I can comfortably sit by the pool or ocean to read. http://www.golden-shellback.com/

Have been asked everything from "What kind of electronic toy is that?" to "Are you reading Twilight?" (My Reader does travel with me quite a bit...and I do read at home...should have marked everywhere....)

I use to do that too, never bumped into anything and got a lot of reading done going to and from school. Though if it was a really good book I had to forgo reading on the way to school or I would be late because I 'had to finish one more part.'
I also read on my Cybook in the bath, on the couch, in a recliner, in the car as a passenger, in the kitchen eating meals but not cooking, on a plane, outside on the deck, anywhere I might read a pbook really. I've had this thing for over a year now and it's a lot more solid than it's given credit for.

That is very slick! I love the video they have of the iPod touch playing under water with the cable running out of it to a speaker. Excellent potential for safer reading on eBook readers in the bath and at the beach. Not that I'll stop doing those things now, but kewl option for the future.

krisk Wizard Posts: 2,148 Karma: 8229 Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: on the road again Device: kindle	Best wishes andinho! Anyway, I figured the poll meant current/ebook reading. I certainly read a lot when I lived in Germany! (8 years of reading!) I LOVE reading in the bath and having a glass of wine, but I am terrified of exposing my Kindle to water. There was a thread in the Kindle forum where water exposure came up. I have losts way too many cell phones and pagers to clumsiness around toilets mostly. To add to locations with my kindle, on the ski lift, on the mountain waiting for my students to catch up or get their equipment together, on ferries, in any line I have to wait in. I also used to read pbooks while trail riding horses. I anticipate I will probably do that with a Kindle especially if I have some sort of a Dummy Cord to attach it to my body or the saddle.

stinsmom Junior Member Posts: 7 Karma: 34 Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Colorado Device: Kindle	I was a little worried about getting my Kindle because my favorite place to read is the bath. Now I just put my baby into a ziploc bag and away I go!
