what about water proof ???
Coming back from my vacation.
my Kobo touch worked well except when I was on the beach, in the pool . . .

A water proof e-reader would be nice!

The one advantage of the Kobo WiFi is that you can place it in a zip lock bag and use it in those kinds of environments without worry.

I think water-proof is more than you'd need. Water resistant is more reasonable. You want to avoid damage from rain or splashes, underwater reading is not something you're likely to do.
