You have to take into consideration that the screen - ANY e-ink screen, mind you! - is built on a glass substrate. So, you have 90x120mm large piece of very thin glass indide your reader.

having said that... my P360 has fallen several times, once being literally thrown off me while I slipped on a train platform - a corner has been "grated" all right, but the screen still looking gorgeous (mind you, it is not Pearl): I must have been really lucky, but the tough screen cover and the smallness probably saved the day. It is very ligth, including the cover it weighs 193g on my kitchen scale.
When taking it for me for hikes in ths alps, my only extra protection has been to wrap it in a wollen scarf. If you get the old model (no wireless) you'll find it cheap-ish, and the sd card will give you plenty of space for your library, wherehver you are in the world. As you can see, I'm quite a fan
