NO WET BLANKET: The Kobo Aura H20 is the world's first water-resistant e-reader.

The Kobo Aura H20 is the world's first premium water-resistant e-reader — capable of being submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, it could well be the breakthrough that finally makes e-books as flexible as their real-world alternatives. 

One of life's simplest pleasures is being able to crack the spine of a good book while lying on the beach, near the pool, or sitting in the bath. In fact, Kobo's CCO, Michael Tamblyn claims that the motivation behind building the device was existing customer demand.
