I think this is more a problem for the hardware designers. We have the technology, there is no reason why a reader can't be made with waterproof, with a sturdy, indestructible plastic frame (after all, we can do it with laptops). Then the question becomes which you would rather your kid handle, an electronic reader that reduces clutter, can be slammed against a wall, and can survive being dropped in the toilet or calling the plumber to retrieve your signed, waterlogged pile of pulp?
