I would assume this is correct. Since the Sony has a metal casing, you cannot easily apply torsion on the screen, which is probably the biggest danger next to direct pressure to the screen. The Bookeen device has a plastic casing, which makes it alot lighter, but also more vulnerable. So i guess the possibility to cause damage to the screen by twisting the casing is alot higher with the Bookeen device. The main problem i see there, is that most users are not aware, that torsion is as dangerous to the screen as direct pressure, since most people protect the screen quite well.
