Also consider yourself lucky to have been forewarned by all these posts of broken screens. I am not so sure the issue is GENERAL fragility, as much as only the screen. Amazon shows a drop test for the Kindle on its home page, yet I'd bet their screen is fragile too. It may just be the nature of how e-ink devices are engineered, for now at least. The key is not to put pressure of any sort on the screen, even with it in its case and the case closed. I only wish this point was made by Bookeen BEFORE so many of us broke ours.
