I really can't say how fragile they are. I haven't had mine go through much rough treatment yet. A good cover is a must though if he's going to have it in his backpack that might be thrown around like it be for any 10-year-old.
The Sony can be a bit expensive, but right now the PRS-350 is $119 at Best Buy. It's of good build quality and although it of course can't be handled really rough, it is pretty sturdy. "Bending" (there's probably a better word for it, but I can't think of one right now) can be an issue for devices like this, and because the Sony's small dimension I woudl say that risk is realtively small.
