So, how waterproof is it? They're showing it in use on a yacht, but make no mention of IP rating. Can't find any mention of it on their blingy website either.

Don't tell me you go yachting with no spare ebook readers... You obviously buy 10, and then just switch to a new one whenever once gets eaten by the sea. Simple!

Other sites list it as not waterproof. So it's definitely not the "ultimate" ebook reader :(
