I use the pouch. It's got a degree of padding and I've carried my eReader backpacking with me for for a couple of years without any problems. I guess how much protection you need depends on how much you sling your pack around and what sort of equipment you have in your pack. I generally stick mine in at the top of the pack in the pouch which is in a ziplock, maybe with a couple of food bags on either side. Maybe wrapped in a shirt or rain jacket, depending on the temperature.
I haven't gone on a trip longer than a couple of days over the past couple of years, so I haven't had a need to recharge it on the trail. I've got a small solar charger (solio) that I think will do well enough to charge it, but I haven't tried it yet.
