Not long ago I was on twitter, bemoaning the fact that I can’t read off my ipad in the bathtub or shower, the way I could relax in the bath with a paperback, once upon a time.

Well, bless you random stranger who tweeted me back, I guess off my hashtag.

He said if you put your touch-screen device in a sealed Ziploc bag, you don’t lose your touch screen abilities, but now of course, your device is protected from the water.

Well I tried it out and it works! Awesome. The screen goes a little funny if the ziploc is tight against it, grainy. But it’s just the view through the plastic, not damage to the actual screen itself.

Now I am back to leisurely baths with my books, and not worrying about dropping my device.

Hope this post helps some of you enjoy your e-books in a new way!
