The only Reader I had die on me was a Sony Reader PRs-505. It started with a thin line across the middle of the screen and it eventually just died. I think it was a screen controller issue. I called Sony and asked whatt hey could do and they were able to send me a 600 for $50 and paid to have the 505 sent back. I did that. The 600 I managed to sell for $100 and then bought the 650. It wasn't long since the 505 died that the 650 came out. I really didn't like the 600. Other than that, every Reader I have owned has never suffered "sudden death". I've had my Readers in messenger bags and knapsacks with no screen breakage. But then when I know I am taking my Reader with me, i make sute what I have in the bag is not going to be breaking it.
