I was not so clear I think. The Cybook was jammed into a cubbyhole during a 6 Km drive down to the Orange river. The route is called the Road to Hell and it was aptly named. It took us 6 hours the next day to retrace our route and a lot of damage was done to the vehicles. People in the cars picked up bruises from the battering they took. Some people walked most of the way as the road was narrow with dangerous drop offs. Temperatures were in the mid 40's. I dont think the damage done to the reader was mysterious under those conditions. The reader was in its cover but I think, I cannot be sure, that it was flexed or twisted.

I am not saying that there are no mysterious breaks but I am saying our break was not terribly surprising. I am interested in find out what is behind these breaks as we own 2 readers. My gut feel is still that the plastic housing is too flimsy to support the thin glass substrate and prevent flexing.
