I also have a suspicion that the Kindle itself well turn a pale yellow after months of intense use (like many other white colored products). Have any of these particular phenomena happened to anyone? 
Another problem I'm worried about is durability. I heard the e-ink screen + body can be damaged easily, especially if it gets jumbled about in a handbag/backpack. Do MobileRead readers recommend buying a case? Would it be better to have one of those stick on skins or a case to slip in?

You won't scratch the screen, as it's not a touch screen... no need to put your hands on it...
If you smoke the colour may darken over time, but you'd probably not notice...
Washing hands as a part of normal hygiene, should keep your Kindle nice and white... Otherwise just wipe with a damp cloth, just as you would your phone...
I prefer a case for my kindle... I have an Oberon Case for mine... Love it.
