Good news Dr. Drib!
My story--about a month ago, I was getting out of a taxi at the Las Vegas airport. I was in a little bit of a hurry and didn't notice that my purse wasn't securely closed. Well my reader went flying out of my purse from probably about the same height (65 cm) and landed on the pavement. If it wasn't for the kind taxi driver noticing, my Reader would have been run over by another taxi. He stopped the other car before it did definite irreparable damage.
Well, I was sure my Reader was damaged beyond repair (especially after reading some horror stories here). Was in a hurry to catch my plane, so didn't have time to check it until I'd checked in. When I did--lo and behold, the screen was fine!! The bottom, where the volume toggle is had popped out of place, but I managed to get that back in later--now a month or so later, the reader is working perfectly with no evidence of it's mistreatment--except for a tiny dent on the bottom corner.
