I would also be aware of any torsion that gets applied to the kindle - not just pressing the screen, but also bending the device as such.
And that is where I think the old Kindle (1st and 2nd generation) might actually be sturdier with their thick plastic frames than the thinner and more elegant third version. But I only speak from the experience of having broken one 3rd gen kindle by putting it into a bag with too flimsy a cover 2 weeks after buying it, not from having actually used a 1st or 2nd gen device.
Best regards,
Andy
