Actually, Sony readers (especially the latest models) seem to be the more robust ones.
Quoting a guy who runs a screen replacement service in Moscow:
Quote:
I can definitely say which are the reasons for screen fracture in Netronix devices, which are in Sonys, Amazons or L-Books.
Netronix is the champion in getting stripes on the screen - diagonal cracks from corner to corner.
It's just torsion! The PCB and plastic [body] bends and the glass cracks.
PRS-600s break only from impacts at the center [of the screen].
The 300s almost never break - the non-working screens are mostly caused by decoder [chips] dying, unlike PocketBook 360s, which mostly suffer from corner cracks.
People use the readers in the same way, some bear the loads and some don't. Make your own conclusions.
