The Cybook/Sony/Kindle all use the same screen but the Cybook is wrapped in a thinner lighter plastic shell so my personal opinion is that it's more likely to break. The current results on the Teleread for broken screens are:
Kindle 8%
Cybook 13%
Sony PRS505 14%

Whichever you decide on you should handle them with appropriate care. They're not eggshells but they are a $250 piece of glass. I'm hoping the next generation of e-ink is less fragile.
