i'm a strong proponent of "buy a tablet instead" since they're generally more 'open' and priced similarly to eink readers (which are very niche and thus expensive [for what they do] devices).
if you're committed to eink type devices for their screen 'technology', then i'd tend to go for a used older $50 device rather than a new $130 device. with mishandling, either one can break just as easily as the other, and if the used one is still working great when you buy it then it is highly unlikely to break UNLESS you yourself mishandle it.
