My Kindle's always struck me as pretty rugged. I sure as hell wouldn't want to drop my laptop from three feet. Mechanical hard drives can be sensitive, as well as the glass monitor, all sorts of things can become loose or dislodged.. lots of things that can break.

The screen is the only thing I have to worry about with the Kindle, and as long as the cover is on it I've not even had the hint of a problem.
