I think in future I will stay away from bookeen.
Rather, stay away from eInk with glass substrate. eInk screens with a plastic substrate should be with us next year, initially in a large form factor from Plastic Logic, but hopefully in 5" or 6" screens from others. These will be far more robust.

I don't think I'll be buying another glass-substrate eInk screen. Although when my CyBook broke I'd be sorely tempted.
