Ok, I have an ebookwise 1150 and have dropped it LOTS - no problem, even once onto concrete from about 3 foot. I was going to buy a Kindle, but obviously this will last about 5 minutes with me.

If you have or know of a unit which is idiot proof and is droppable, please let me know. Yes, all the bells and whistles would be great, but the things I love about my baby are: read in the dark, 15 hour life, 20 minute recharge when I can still read, DROPPABLE!! I would LOVE a LONG battery life, short recharge and the ability to put LOADS of books on, but not if it's a fragile little thing.

I am starting to think I will just buy another ebookwise before they stop selling them, but hope someone here is as clumsy as me and will point me in the right direction!!

I live in Qatar, but have postal addresses in US and UK.

Thanks in advance to all those fab folks out there!!
