I'll have to side with Harry on this.
My Cybook survived lately (in the cover, of course):
- 3000km in car with temperature changes that ruined my mercury thermometer
- every day to the beach (via car) for 15 days, in rather flimsy backpack with other bathing necessities
- reading on said beaches, in sun, after swimming, with Cybook covered with something to avoid direct sun while I bathe (but more often then not being completely in the sun due to my rather long swimming bouts)
Not to mention my honourable husband kept throwing it in the car despite my pleas about sensitive electronic devices being in it.
And... that's only 15 days of rather extreme use. Now, I'm carrying it in the same backpack to work - this time with other, no less damaging things. And going to work is either walking 25-45mins or going by BUS 10-25min.
Go figure.
I really think some units are more prone to breaking. And some people ignore of diminish the factor like children, pets, clumsy SO...
