I think I will pop down to the shop and get another, perhaps a kobo clara hd, which has a similar price point with an enhanced display.
I suggest putting it in a good case, avoiding impacts and twisting/bending forces, and not leaving it in a hot car. Most eink readers are significant more fragile than phones and tablets. If you tend to smack yours around and your budget isn't very limited, maybe consider a Forma?
