Amazon is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Kindle by unveiling a new waterproof version of the popular e-reader. The new version of the Kindle Oasis is “IPX8 rated to protect against immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes,” according to Amazon. The new Kindle Oasis costs $249.99, more than three times the price of the most basic version of the device. That covers the model with eight gigabytes of storage — customers can upgrade to 32 gigabytes for $30 more. The new Kindle Oasis is scheduled to begin shipping to customers this month.
