While I bricked a reader that could not be fixed due to the soldered memory and lack of alternative reset methods, so far I had not one device with internal flash die on me because of bad sectors.
I think most readers die due to broken display or ripped off USB. Also I have here a Glo with defective touchscreen.
It's a huge plus in any case, for the bricking issue alone, even though Kobo's built in reset / recovery methods save your ass most of the time... I don't think we'd have this lively developers community without the SD card.
