AKA a "minced oath" - love that phrase - e.g. gad zooks, crimeny
The thin design of the Reader seems to make it especially sensitive to bring torqued or bent - seems like I've read at least as many, if not more, stories of breaking the screen that way as by direct impact (where the cover provides some protection).
If you carry the Reader around in something like a soft briefcase or backpack, it seems worthwhile to buy or make some kind of rigid case - I like the polycarbonate DVD box.
