Seconding Anemic Oak. I have not broken the screen on any of my Kindles, three in total. I have travelled with them donestically and internationally. I have used them at the beach. I have used them at the river. Heck, I have used one in the river in a waterproof bag. No problems.

The key is treating it as if the screen is fragile. Tossing it into a backpack with a ton of other things, even in a cover, is asking for trouble. Some people have not had the screens break many others have. It is when the screens get twisted, even a little bit, that you can have problems. The torque breaks the glass substrat.

Most of the ereaders have had few problems with buttons.
