To read in the bath I need an ereader that projects an image onto the wall and has mind control page-turning.
This is a really cool idea!

In the bath, no, I can't see that happening. In the toilet, ... maybe.

I only take showers, but I do read in the bathroom. And no I have never dropped my book in the toilet.

How could you sit to do your business and still leave enough space for your Reader to fall through?

Not sure what gender @apache is but if male, who says he was sitting? A quick couple of pages while emptying his bladder and ooopsie!

That's something I have never done. I don't read and urinate. I just urinate, flush, put it away, zip, and go back to where I was reading.

I don't have a bath tub. Last time I did and I used it, I did read. I read the shampoo bottle to make sure I was using mine and not my wife's.

I don’t take baths, but on the few occasions I’ve been in a hot tub/jacuzzi I’ve done the same.

There has always been a "The Porcelain Reading Room" in my life

I got a TP stand with a 'Phone Shelf' (Phones don't belong in that room ), so my reader is safe during other evolution's.

Yes I have dropped my eReader in the bathtub but..... the tub was empty and I'd put the reader on the side of the tub while getting up from the throne.
