Mine slipped down from the bed on a floor with a thick carpet. Screen dead.
The good thing: I tried a $100 tablet and started to read on paper again. No comparison. EReading is very hyped and for academic reading or anything where you make notes (where not?!) and need to remember, vastly inferior to desktop or paper reading.

And be warned: the slow reaction of the unit also affected my reading speed very negatively. You just become much slower and much more lazy when it comes to look quickly on other pages, overall.

Must have devastating effects on children's reading and learning capabilities.

There are some cases where it's good, for example front lit eReaders in low light conditions, but they are rare.
