I've had my K2 for a year and a half and I was very concerned about the apparent fragility of the device. No worries, it has been remarkably robust, withstanding my voracious reading, a couple of drops as I fell asleep, and even got sat on once. The single most important thing is to get a cover, I have used the Amazon covers for both the K2 and K3 and I am satisfied with them. If you are really concerned spring for the extended warranty, well worth the money in peace of mind.
