What in the world ar you guys doing with your ereaders?
Nyssa, as I mentioned, I put it into my backpack between my iPad and my iPod - in a "Timbuk2" padded sleeve.

When I took it out again 30 minutes later, the screen was broken. I had NOT thrown, dropped, folded, spindled or otherwise mutilated the bag. I had simply taken it out of the house to the beach. Obviously the Kindle got bent a little bit and that cracked the substrate.

So I shudder whenever I see that Amazon advertisement with the lovely lady putting the Kindle into the back pocket of her tight jeans. Optically pleasing, certainly, but IMO not the safest way to treat any eInk device.

Best regards,
Andy
