Kindle Paperwhite is IPX8 rated to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes, and up to 0.25 meters of seawater for up to 3 minutes.

Though I'd definitely rinse it off well after being in salt water. |
Exactly as I claimed, because 25cm of saltwater for 3 minutes is not a widely accepted definition of waterproof. (About 10" in American)
200 cm (about 79″ in American) for an hour in fresh water is almost waterproof.
Don't drop it in your hot tub with bath-bomb or other relaxing salts.
It's fresh water resistant.
