Can I read my e-reader in the bathtub?

Yes — IPX8 e-readers handle full submersion. Many readers specifically buy waterproof models for bath reading. Use a bath caddy to minimize dropping risk.

What happens if my waterproof e-reader gets submerged?

It continues working normally. The screen remains readable underwater. After retrieval, shake off excess water and let ports dry before charging. No special recovery steps needed.
