The kindle is actually quite sturdy. I've dropped it many times with no ill effect. *knock wood* (it landed on its side or back each time)

However, the screen has a glass substrate that cracks easily, so any pressure on the screen is deadly.

If they can use an all plastic screen, the unit can be made lighter without compromising sturdiness.
