Bath tomes

All Mom really wants for Mother’s Day is some time to herself, preferably in a relaxing bath with a good book.

Is that too much to ask?

Not at all — especially if she has one of those waterproof e-readers.

The folks at Kobo have recently introduced yet another upgraded reading gizmo, the Kobo Aura H20 (kobo.com), which can — you guessed it — withstand up to 60 minutes in up to two metres of water. So long, soggy pages.

The 8GB device holds up to 6,000 books. That’s a lot to choose from — and Mom doesn’t have time for that.
