If you want to waterproof a Kindle, just stick it into a baggie. It’s still fully functional and you can read in the tub, if you are so inclined. I used to say that I liked to take baths because you couldn’t read in a shower. Well, that is no longer the case.

During intermission at a BSO concert the other night I took out my Kindle to check my g-mail, soon people were gathering around to watch. It was a high-end audience — they all had heard of the kindle and just wanted to see it in action. Their biggest concern was text size and they were glad to see that it was adjustable. From the comments I heard at least a couple of them planned to buy one.
