Having held the Kindle, PRS500/505, Netronix and Cybook, I'm going to go out on a limb even further and say that the case of the Netronix/Cybook models are too thin and there's too much chance of 'flex'. And the motherboard and screen board are affixed together too firmly which, IN MY OPINION, allow the substrate glass to receive far too much stress in these 'flex' situations. Yes, I have cracked open both a Cybook and an EB-100 and they're exactly the same when it comes to the hardware and hardware mounting points.
