Oh, I don't know ... there seem to be so many ways to kill an Iliad - drop it, drown it, kick it, brick it ... or simply order it
I tend to take it anywhere I would take a book, just to try and make a point about its usefulness.
Sure, bad things could happen to it - but ya gotta relax about that, otherwise there's no fun to be had.
(Although having said that, I should probably admit that I
don't let my 2-year-old play with it. That would be tempting fate...)
