I'd say stick with Kobo and maybe invest in a good case and some bubble wrap

With Calibre and Apprentice Alf, any e-reader has those same capabilities. (Well, you have to convert from ePub for the Kindle, but still...)

I personally wouldn't want to read on a tablet, so I don't have advice on that. Of the two options left, you buy another Kobo or buy a Kindle. Since the cheapest model Kindle you are looking at costs $80 more, a Kindle is no more or less fragile than a Kobo and you seem to prefer Kobo anyway, the answer seems obvious.

One option you may not have considered: Look at a Kobo Aura 2 or even buy a Kobo Aura off of eBay. Yeah, the screen isn't as nice as the Glo HD, but the price is less. At the very least you won't feel as bad if you break it.
