This has led me to consider a Kindle Touch, but I'm worried that the screen might not hold up to being thrown in a back-pack or bike-bag, getting drooled on by my baby, etc. So I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has either had the touch screen last through years of hard use or wrecked the touchscreen through abuse.

Thanks in advance!
The Kindle Touch seems a little sturdier to me than any of the others I've used. I've dropped mine on a hard wood floor from about 4 feet and luckily nothing broke. My 8 month old chews and drools on it on occasion and so far no problems have stemmed from that either. I do recommend using a sleeve or case. I use a Javoedge flex sleeve and it works great.
