The Glo is an eink device isn't it?

There's a Kobo Glo in my family that's been going back and forth to school in a 11-12 year old's backpack without being broken. Always in a case (Gecko Slimfit), with warnings to care for it well.
Never put an ereader in a back pocket; that's a recipe for disaster. The worst thing you can do is twist/flex an e-ink device, which has a very thin glass substrate. Put it in a good case, don't expose it to temperature extremes, treat it with significantly more care than you do a smartphone or tablet, and it can last for years, until the battery eventually gives up the ghost. This goes for all e-ink devices, not just Kobo.
