Kindles have always seemed pretty resilient to me but the I always have them in covers which reduces any shock damage. I've never damaged one by dropping it. I did have one fall off my motorbike onto tarmac at about 40mph but it came away unscratched. I did step on one and crack the screen but I think that's forgivable, I'm a big guy. My biggest worry is dunking them in the bath but the new waterproof version has lessened that worry.
