Definitely! My first Kindle suffered a very watery depth as I was so engrossed in the book that I slid deeper into the water and got the bottom half of the Kindle in the water too! I had to go and buy myself a paper copy of the book to ensure that I could finish it! Who knew I could get so engrossed in a Patricia Briggs series!

Yes. On my e-reader. I don't know why, but I would feel worse if I dropped a book into the water, than E-reader. Surprisingly, it never happened

Yes! It's enjoyable but not my favorite relaxation choice as I hate worrying about getting the pages wet -- ha!

I cheat by listening to an audiobook in the bath! That way, my phone is safely out of harm's way on the vanity and I can relax.

I do this all the time.There is nothing more relaxing that a tub full of hot water, the aroma of scented candles around the tub, a bottle of Pepsi to quench the thirst and a good book to read. Simply divine!

Sadly no. TV and movies make bath time seem so relaxing and awesome. Knowing me i probably wouldn't notice the water getting cold hah

Nope, because I don't want to see a book fall into the water.

Even if I wasn't afraid to drop it in the water, I could never be comfortable enough in a bath to want to stay and read.

I would never dare to try it. The thought of holding a book close to that much water would never cross my mind.

Yes, I typically take my e-reader. Risky business, but I haven't dropped it yet! (Crossing fingers)

Never had. I suppose it would be relaxing, but I am too afraid to try lest the book gets wet.

I do this too! Once I had water drip onto the charging port and my heart stopped. Thank goodness nothing happened!
