Plastic Logic was actually making a slightly flexible device originally. think slightly more rigid than a legal pad. but people felt the bending was disconcerting. a majority of peopel who actually held the device were put off by the bendy feeling stating it made them think/feel the deivce would break., the opposite reacton t hey expected.

Thats why the Que and the actual shipping 100 reader are rigid devices. The emotional reaction is "sturdiness".
