When I watch reviews of tablets and smartphones I'm always mystified at they way plastic is treated as if it's inferior for the body of a handheld device. And yet plastic devices are better able to withstand falls, are more comfortable to hold and are a bit lighter. It always seemed to me like we should get a discount for having to put up with metal.

I always keep my ereaders in pretty cases, so the material which the reader is made from is irrelevant. My 505 is metal, but I barely notice this on the odd occasions I use it. (Not recommended to the OP as it's no longer made and has no frontlight.)
