A zip-lock bag also works really well. I usually tape it so it is tight around the screen of my kindle to get a good view. Works great in the bath spa or pool for occasional splashes and wet hands.
What about iPad?
I brought my Sony Reader to the beach without a cover and the screen freaked and started doing random actions on its own. The repair tip is to use a business card and run it under the bezel and above the screen to pull out tiny gains of sand. Do it a couple times gently to make sure you get all the sand grains out.
