Oh yeah. That rubber hinge probably won't last more than 5k open/closes or so, imho. Could be wrong though, as I don't know what kind of material is used. Even if it breaks off, that should be no more than an aesthetic defect.
In addition to the mini-USB, the dock connector should have 5k duty cycles. One thing to note: if you are a dock user, be careful placing the reader on the dock. I've seen a dock at Borders where part of the connector was bent, rendering it unusable. That won't damage the reader, but at $50 a pop, those docks are kind of a rip-off.
