Removes a couple pieces of hardware and simplifies the process, and lowers the physical effort required to turn the page. </p>

  I really like the [no budget answer](https://ebooks.stackexchange.com/questions/931/what-are-my-options-for-reading-an-ebook-in-the-bathtub/976#976) by username_9
  
  But after thinking about that answer for a while; I am thinking a better solution would be to use the computer ebook software of your choice, with the PC hooked to the large screen TV as a monitor (*strategically place over the tub*), then use voice recognition software to turn the page. Removes a couple pieces of hardware and simplifies the process, and lowers the physical effort required to turn the page.

  I use a [Redpepper](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00JRP6526) waterproof case for my Paperwhite, It's inexpesnsive and works great,I've dropped it in a lake, left it out in the rain during a hike and never had a leak.
