My original Sony Reader -- I had the PRS 500 way back in the day -- was a beast. I had it while I was in the service, and took it into some pretty rough places. I knocked the heck out of it... it was full of scratches, dings, etc. But it kept on ticking.

Then 4 years later, I stepped on it on my carpeted floor and broke it. Go figure. So my experience with the Sony was pretty good, though I don't know if they even make them the same way or not (with the aluminum outside).

That said, I have a Kindle now and haven't had any issues, though I haven't abused it to the extent that I did with the Sony.
