I think it's probably not the most ruggedized bit of electronics, so I can understand your concerns. I'd probably just read paper in that sort of a case, if you couldn't have any reasonable assurances of treating it carefully. You can get accidental handling insurance, though. Don't know how many incidents they allow for, or if there is a deductible. (Should know since I bought it, but you know how that goes.) It definitely would let you carry a lot of books in a small space. But if you are out on the water for long periods, you'd eventually need a way to charge it also.

But like you say, it's a really cool e-book reader. You'll have to let us know what you decide to do!
