not to mention that replacement generally costs almost as much as the original device. I am quite encouraged by the reports of devices surviving drops, but the various horror stories still stick in my mind:
sony, nook, hanlin, iriver, bookeen, irex, the list goes on - the scariest to me are those cases when the breakage appear to happen (welol, perfect) while reading. And for many unlucky users it looks like a cover wouldn't be enough in a backpack. I am seriously considering some old fashined biscuit tin box to put my reader, in addition to the cover!
