I've broken two Kindle Keyboards. I've dropped them many times, and a couple times it broke. It really depends on how it falls. The first time the screen broke, it fell flat on its back. The second time, it fell flat in its edge. Other times, the Kindle tumbled, and didn't take the full force of the drop all at once in one place.
The glass breaking isn't what breaks the device, at least not directly. The glass is there to protect the very fragile e-ink display. You could have thicker glass, but there is a tradeoff in weight. I'd like to see a device with flexible e-ink, not to bend the device, but to have a device that can flex without bending. This would mean those drops wouldn't be as risky.
