I know this is an old thread but for traveling, especially if you are putting the kindle in a backpack or purse, get a hard shelled zippered case to put it in. This will protect it from accidental screen breakage. If you like to read with a cover on it, look for one that will fit the kindle with cover on otherwise look for one that will strap the kindle in. I found one in oddly enough the autoparts section of Target. I notice they've since been moved to the luggage section.
