I've got the Kindle DXG with the new Pearl screen. I've owned the following Sony readers: 505, 300, 600, and 900. I've also owned a K2 and have seen and used the Nook. The Pearl screen on my Kindle DXG blows them all out of the water. It is very easy to read--much better than the closest competition.
As far as dropping any reader whether it is a Kindle, a Sony, or some other brand, expect some damage if it hits a hard surface at a high rate of speed. Even the well built Sony readers will shatter if dropped from a high enough distance. A case will help protect them a bit. Oh and they are definitely not child-proof, so don't let a 2 year old smack it around!
