Hi everyone. I am not sure if you can help me out at all, but I am looking for an ereading device which can take some bumps. An ereader which one could carry along during outdoor activities and could still take it out after a day of hiking for example without coming across a cracked screen.

I think LCD displays are out of the equation for that, although I heard some good things about gorilla glass? Would such a device survive, lets say a drop of a meter or two or a bump against a wall (in a backpack)?

Somewhere I read that there are eink devices with plastic screens, so would that work?
