They're not big enough pet peeves to be a threat to them, but it is only a matter of time before someone builds a ruggedized eBook reader. One that sacrifices compactness and lightness for impact resistance.
There is a similar movement going on right now for compact digital cameras. Olympus makes the Stylus Tough series, Pentax has their own series too. They have rubber bumpers and sealed enclosures.
