I don't own an iRiver but I wouldn't think that it is more robust than the Pocketbook. Maybe it is more a statistical problem that we have much more Pocketbook than iRiver users here.
Generally, all eink readers are quite fragile cause they use a glass substrate. But with some care and common sense it shouldn't break. One very important thing is to use the reader with a cover, the other not to put pressure on the reader.
