I've been commuting to work by bike for a couple of years now. In the same period, I've had a Pocketbook 360 and a K3 malfunction and being replaced under warranty and I'm beginning to wonder whether ereaders are built to be carried in the pannier of a bike. I've seen blogs of people touring in their bikes with their Kindles, so they seem to be sturdy enough. It might just be a coincidence that those two readers broke.

Anyway, what do you guys do? I'm thinking to buy a piece of foam to cover the bottom of one of the panniers.
