I would recommend you switch to a tablet and get MoonReader Pro. I think you are either accident prone or far more rough on readers than you think. All of the ereaders have basically the same surface. I've a bunch of ereaders and only one had a damaged surface (I grabbed it to prevent it falling and damaged the screen). So, yeah, they don't take very much 'abuse' to damage.
As far as tablets, the Fire is the least expensive right now. Samsung would be your next bet.
The alternative is to stop buying new units. Get something used off Ebay or Craigslist. Then when it craps out because of whatever, you can move on to another used device. I get used units for my cousin's kid - she's careful with stuff, but it was in her bookbag and WHAM, one drop and it was done for. She felt awful (11 years old), but I just found her another deal with Woot and all is better. It's like kids and eye glasses.
