I guess I'll have to put it down to Sony build quality as I can't believe my luck when I stupidly dropped my reader from 2 or 3 metres high onto a concrete floor.
I turned it back on expecting the screen to be cactus but there is no indication of damage. I'll keep an eye on it for the telltale sign of a screen fracture.I think what saved it was the cover was on and it landed face down and not on the corner.
Has anyone else dropped theirs from a height and it survived. Some people have only had to breath on theirs wrongly and the screen cracks.
