Jeff Bezos on e-books, bathtubs and Ziploc bags

Is Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO, reading TeleRead or other e-book blogs? Very possibly.

For many months, people here have suggested heavy-duty plastic bags if you want to laze back in the bathtub and enjoy your e-reader.

Now read a snippet from Deborah Solomon’s interview with Bezos for the New York Times.

What do you say to Kindle users who like to read in the bathtub?

I’ll tell you what I do. I take a one-gallon Ziploc bag, and I put my Kindle in my one-gallon Ziploc bag, and it works beautifully. It’s much better than a physical book, because obviously if you put your physical book in a Ziploc bag you can’t turn the pages. But with Kindle, you can just push the buttons.
