Is the Kobo Aura H20 really waterproof?

Asked By Amanda Wissler 10 points N/A Posted on - 09/23/2014

I have not bought an e-reader until now because I do most of my reading in the bathtub. I recently saw an advert for the Kobo Aura H20, claiming that it was waterproof.

Is this true? Does this feature make it thicker or more difficult to handle than other e-readers? Is it still a fast and responsive device?
