I haven't broken a kindle yet and I still have a working K1. I read that in an out of the case for 2 years.
If you going to break off the thin part of the Oasis, I don't think its going to matter what e-reader you have, its going to be dead. No e-reader on the market will survive that. No e-ink display I should say. Anytime you twist, you'd break it. So not sure why its more of a deal with the Oasis.
I had my Voyage slip out of my hands a few times, thankfully while reading on the sofa. That is because its hard for me to hold on to it while pressing the page buttons. I think and hope the way the Oasis is designed, I'll have a much better grip on and it wont be going anywhere.
As I know that e-ink is fragile, I treat it that way. I know stuff happens, but that would happen with any device, not exclusive to the Oasis. I know folks broke e-ink readers with covers on in the past that didn't have a think part like the Oasis. Just depends on how it hits it and what surface it hits.
And yes, the german video is just explaining the coating stuff that the Oasis seems to have on the inside of the frame compared to the non Oasis frame thingie.
