Of course if Amazon would include a post to attach a wrist strap, which Sony provides, these issues would be less common. That being said, I beat the tar out of my Sony 500, dropping the thing on concrete and hard wood, and it still works fine (has small chips missing from the paint, though). Since then I've adopted the practice of always wearing wrist strap and I've only dropped an ebook device once since then (I dropped a nook at the grocery store while juggling my shopping bags). The nook survived the fall; it fell flat on its back on top of the folded back industriel cover. You might want to go for one of the Sony touch screen models. There have been some broken 600s, but it seems to be less common and requires a more powerful impact. I think the extra layer provided by the touch screen makes it more sturdy and less likely to twist. I've never heard of a Sony 700 with a broken screen nor have I heard of a broken Daily Edition (at least due to impact).
