Congrats on your ereader purchase & welcome to mobilreads! I think the biggest danger is just to avoid accidents. I've gone through 3 Kindle threes from the screen breaking since I got mine in Sept 2010. Even with a case, Kindles are a fragile breed in my experience. Amazon happily sold me a replacement for $65 each time. I'm not aware of a screen's image quality deteriorating over time as you were told.
That said, I have been salivating over the Kindle Paperwhite. I'd get that if I were you.
