i never ever leave my kindle on the floor, on the bed, anywhere! except its bombproof bunker, when i don't read. on the rare, rare occasion i take it out in the world, it's in a homemade case and bundled up in a think muffler... yeah, i know :|
i think the take-your-kindle-to-the-beach commercial skews the buyers' perception of how fragile the thing really is. |
I think it is luck of the draw. my Kindle(s) have been; to the beach, skiing, camping, shooting, major travel, to the puppy park, leave the house with me every single day, had surgery with me, and sleep naked every night. in bed they've been slept on, rolled over on, slid off the side of the bed, stepped on by the dog (all 185 pounds of her) and gnawed on by a kitten. still going strong!

This is how I pictured it, and if this is really how it happened then how the hell could you fell asleep holding that big-ass book in your hands, mate ? 
I can only ever fall asleep in the most of common positions.
What a talent, lol... |
I fell asleep with one of Jordan's Wheel of Time books. I'd had it propped just *so* on my chest and when my wrists finally relaxed it slammed forward into my face. had it been any taller I could see how serious nose damage may have happened
