the two things that come to mind are weight and price. you want to keep the device as light as possible while keeping the cost down as well. I believe Sony has a metal frame on some of theirs, which does decrease the chance of it flexing, but you also pay a bit more of a premium..
For all intents and purposes, I've found the kobo to be pretty strong as is, and I've dropped it a number of times (mesa little bit..clumsy...)
