			Fair enough.  I have dropped my Kobo Wifi a number of times and even put a dent in the one corner when it fell on a hardwood floor and it still works fine.  I have no doubt that there are variations in ruggedness between brands, but I wouldn't feel comfortable regularly putting any of them in "hostile" environment unprotected and not expect to run into an issue eventually.
