Hey guys,

I once had a Sony Ereader PRST3, and it was fantastic! It was durable enough to survive many trips on planes and buses, however not durable enough to survive the wrath of my bored dog one evening.

Since they no longer sell Sony Ereaders I replaced it with a Kobo Touch, and literally 3 weeks after I bought it, it slid off the side of my bed and the screen stopped working. I was HUGELY disappointed, why have a mobile electronic that cant even survive a 2 foot fall onto carpet?

Unfortunately, my options are very slim now. I can either go with another Kobo, but I'm not happy with their product. or a Kindle, that dosen't support epub files and I would have to convert everything (which I don't want to do)

Anyone have any suggestions?
