I'd like to know how fragile the Cybook is. Generally I take excellent care of my stuff and I'm thinking of making the purchase of a Cybook Gen3 my long-term goal for 2009. That's provided I can save up enough money before the end of the year.

Now I don't want to spend a huge amount of cash on an e-reader and then it just suddenly days for no reason after normal handling. Will the Cybook be able to stand the test of time if you take good care of it?
I guaran-damn-tee you if you grab your Cybook Gen3 like a hammer and attempt to drive 10-penny nails, you'll not have a functioning Cybook by the end of the attempt. Same holds true if you try using it as a seat cushion or doorstop. But under 'normal' use, you should be fine. Trust me, I've, either on purpose or accidentally, put Cybooks through all three scenarios.
