Waterproof eReaders Currently on the Market - The Digital Reader

Today's trip into the Catosphere was a short one. Our speedy kitty boy made a stop at The Digital Reader site. With hardly any digging at all he found a post about waterproof ereaders.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, there are nine waterproof ereaders available on today's market. The post gives information on nine ereaders. The post doesn't contain any review information, instead just general information such as manufacturer, ereader name, screen size, etc. Covered are the Kindle Oasis 2, Kindle Paperwhite, Barnes and Noble Glowlight Plus, Kobo Aura One, Kobo Aura H20 2, Pocketbook Aqua 2, Tolino Epic, Tolino Vision, and Onyx Robinson Crusoe.. The post includes links to most of the ereaders discussed .

Not going to happen. Not now. Not ever.

Panzer says, "Everyone knows this little kitty's opinion of water, so he won't be testing the waterproof ereaders."

Note: This is a short-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
