Oh, so do I. Bending or twisting forces will be lethal to E-ink screens, far more so than to tablet screens. A good stiff cover helps a lot with that.
Where your tablet might survive you sitting on it, your ereader probably won't. But both will survive a simple drop probably roughly equally well; I've dropped my readers often enough
