Since then, I put the reader inside the bag, rather than the front pocket. Maybe the screen did got hit, or the bag the reader is in, and you don't remember. Or the way you put stuff in you bag means that the opus is indeed submitted to pressure.
Then, there is still the possibility of a defective screen.

Hey /r/books, which ereader can take the most punishment?

I've broken a good number of them. I think 3. I've also had 2 stolen. I keep buying them.

I've had one or 2 breaks that were quite surprising. Nothing at all intensive happening. Once, I put it in my back pocket (yes, it was in a case) and walked down the street a few blocks. When I took it out, busted screen. Once, I put it in the outside pocket of my tool back (In the same case) and when I took it out 5 minutes later, cracked. the third, well, I kinda stepped on it. That one was my bad.
