Step 1: Hold the book above the water.
pushyourluck

Just don't drop it. Keep a dry towel nearby.

What is... audio books. -that is correct.

I have that exact same gripper tool, it's very handy

They talked about this in the movie Bone Tomahawk, fucking brutal couple of scenes in that.

I've got an iPhone 8 (waterresistant) I've been showering with for a few weeks, seems to be doing fine.
TheFutureMrsJonSnow
As a librarian, can confirm I have received books people have bathed with. It always ends up horribly wrong.
EnderPanda13
Anyone notice the pillow behind his head?
robingal1
This is why we have audio books! That said, I need a waterproof Kindle.
FirePrinceZuzu
Or the cheaper Kindle Paperwhite in a ziplock bag.

It's trivial in the bathtub. But how can some people read in the shower and not get the books wet, I'll never understand.
FinrodFelagundPrinceoftheNoldor
Well, personally I employ a hybrid technique; I'm in the tub, but with the shower going. It's all about the placement of the hand towel.
messmor
Worked at a library. All the harlequin romances were water damaged.
Klisteration
Hopefully, that was from bath water ?

Water proof phones or a phone in a plastic bag

I browse imgur in the shower

My Samsung is waterproof. I also have a wrist band on it in case I drop it.

Kindle. Waterproof phone. Vibrate volume setting.

The best part is he's using the binoculars backwards.
Mercenarity
Seeing's how that's Master Roshi in that tub, we can all assume he's browsing a women's underwear catalog.

I read books laying down in the shower...

Make sure it's a Manhasset. A Wenger stand will drop your shit in the tub 20' away and set fire to your wife, your cat, and your house.

Hmmm. e-book is maybe a solution?
smokinghotchemist
kindle in a zip-lock bag...works like a charm
lunarulerofevil
Actually yes. This works quite well! You can put it in a plastic Ziploc baggie and can still swipe the pages. Works amazing!
nostetselyk
Make sure to plug it in first
ThomsonI
Better yet, try to charge it in the toaster!
wildatheart499
Toasters are for charging electric forks only.
Cyzyk
I realize there are better options, but I always wanted to tie it to the shower curtain rod just too short to fall into the water.
1girl1bkpk
I put mine in a ziplock bag!
samsonguy920
A ziplock bag? Shit, I was always trying with a paper bag...
HolyHolopov
The new Kindle Oasis is actually waterproof!
triflersNeedNot
Me toooo! You can do the touchscreen through the bag it's great
MeetMyCuteQuotaNow
I do too!! Works great!

With these butter fingers? I think not

Just get an S7, S8 or S9. You can use that shit underwater for 2 hours before something happens.
BurntToast127
Or a note 8, for the real people
SideEffectsOfJuice
On one hand, I do kinda trust Samsung. On the other hand, I will keep my S8 away from even the smallest droplets of water...
IATTM
Or so they say... I'm an old timer who doesn't trust advertising like that until proven over the years.
LazyTheAssCat
Yes, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to allow that in a situation in which it could be proven.
Zimno
Dropped my S7 in my hot tub. Was under for a good minute before I realized it fell in, not a single problem with it still.
IATTM
I did that with my Razor flip phone back in '08. Still worked fine as well!
LivingCactus
I used my S7 and S8 for taking pictures underwater for an hour. Both still work fine.
IATTM
Thank you for the info! Also a worry of mine is the usb port getting corroded.
DetectiveSloth
I remember when Sony came out with a waterproof phone the advertisement literally had it in a glass of water the whole time.
IATTM
Just because they did it with their display model doesn't mean it works with every phone they make. I probably need to start trusting...
DodderingCommandant97
Ziplock bro
LivingCactus
I'm going to trust a non waterproof $200-800 phone inside of a 2$ plastic bag? Ha, you're hilarious.
