You say that as though it were a bad thing
. Modern high-density plastics are just as good a constructional material as metal and better in some ways - eg they're a lot better at dispersing energy in the event of an impact (which is why modern cars have plastic bumpers). An eBook reader in a plastic case has a better chance of surviving an impact than one in a metal case.
