Firstly, you did read those examples? Four broken devices, only one clothes pocket (the other two pockets where in some sort of bag), not much evidence of what you are pushing. And you had to go back nine years to find them. Not great evidence to support your theory.

Honestly, those are really just examples that just prove that e-ink devices with glass substrate are more fragile than other devices. Personally, I put my Libra H2O or Clara HD in my front pants pocket or my jacket pocket most days during my commute. Both are in perfect condition. And much safer in my pocket than if I carried them in my hand through a crowded railway station. Or getting on and off the train.

Jon, it's time to give this a rest. Just like you statement that, "6" might be smaller, it' not as nice to read with as a 7" is also BS or just your personal opinion. My finding was that the Aura H2O was to bulky when compared to the Glo HD and it wasn't worth it for the extra screen space. But, the Aura ONE didn't feel bigger so the extra screen space worked. Similarly the Forma was a well. As to the Libra H2O, it is only the buttons that make it potentially better for me than the Clara HD. I read equally on them. It is split basically between kepubs (either purchased or sideloaded) on the Libra H2O and epubs on the Clara HD. That is my experience. But, all you have to do is see how popular the 5" Mini still is to see how flawed your statement is.


Note: The reading split between the devices is pretty much accidental. If anything, it is related to experimenting and when I have reset devices more than anything else. And I hadn't realised until I writing it that I wasn't reading epubs on the Libra H2O.
