I'm not positive I understand your comment about no gentle devices?
The only problem I am aware of on the Kindle is that it uses the same glass e-ink screen used by other readers. The e-ink screen has been known to break if dropped.
However, e-ink is what gives you daylight reading, long battery life, and easy on the eyes. So, if you rule out e-ink you also lose the other capabilities.
My personal experience is that the Kindle has been fine. My K2 has survived a few bobbles whereas my previous e-ink device by another company broke after one fall. I'm not sure if that is just good luck on the K2 or if it does a better job protecting the screen.
