I was reading another thread about a guy waiting to buy his first Kobo and literally shuddered when I read that he wanted the Glo so he could fit it in his rear pocket as visions of him sitting on it flexed it just enough to ruin the screen.
No need to sit on it. One co-worker had his Mini in the back pocket of his jeans and toasted it when he bent over to replace the toner in a Xerox 5755 printer.
