You can quite safely hit a nail with a hammer (in fact, I believe that people quite commonly do!), but I really wouldn't recommend hitting your EZ Reader with a hammer...

I concur. As the attached photo shows, the Netronix devices are just as susceptible to screen breakage as a Cybook. In fact, this particular unit broke when I pressed the navigation control to move to the next page in the ebook I was reading. BTW, I've been attempting to get Netronix to repair this EB-100 since early July (when the breakage occurred) and I've not been able to get a response from Lisa Lin (my original contact person), the sales department or the support department - this despite *NUMEROUS* emails from Comcast, Google and Inbox email accounts. (Google and Comcast get blocked right off the bat and, since July, my Inbox email has been routinely ignored)
