Thanks everyone for your replies. I did not have my ereader in a case, was planning to buy one but did not get around to buy one yet.. If only I would have know how fragile those ereaders (E-ink screens) where..

It's really a annoying thing, because I'm sure if I deliver it to the store I bought it they are going to tell me it will not be under warranty. Even though there aint a scratch on the screen surface.

You would expect a product like this to work for more then 1 month.. I always take good care of my products but if these screens are so fragile they at least should be a warning of it.. I mean you don't expect a mobile phone/tablet screen (even the old ones back in nineties) to go get damaged if there is even the slightest pressure on it..

Another question: Is Kobo the only one that has these extremely sensitive ereaders or do all ereaders (with e-ink screens) suffer from this?
