The stylus is integrated into the reader and won't get dirty as it is pretty snug. The touchscreen is absolutly sturdy and responds to a whisper of your fingers. I had a "normal" device Italica which is like Cybook Gen3 or Pocketbook 301 and there is absolutly no difference in sturdiness. But the touchscreen handling changes everything and means it is a different world.
Even if you travel a lot, I don't see the advantages of having 3G, as only a small fraction of us is staying in Timbuktu longer as it takes to read the 1200 books that your reader is able to carry. It is just the feeling of wanting to be up-to-date with your gadgets, I guess.
