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.

Have you seen all the threads about people breaking the screen of their readers?
My laptop does not have a glass screen and seems much more rugged then the glass on my E-in k reader. If the laptop is turned off I do not think it is so sensitive to dropping since the head on the hard disk is parked. And some laptops hard disks have detectors that detect a drop so you can protect the hard disk by parking the head.
Also I do not drop things so often. The problem with E-ink reader is that they easily break if you carry them wrongly.
