I have a PW2 and appreciate its qualities too, but will not part with my take-anywhere 350s (and they just won't break!).
Wrong. Any Reader with a glass substrate can break.

There's an example of a 350 with a broken screen. So don't be overly confident just because the 350 is not made with plastic. It can still break.
