Or expose it to twisting or bending forces, direct screen pressure, or temperature extremes (eg left in a car)/sudden extreme changes in temp (eg brought in from sub zero weather and put in front of the fire). And put it in a good cover. Treat it like it has an extremely thin pane of glass in it. Which it does.

I've had four Kobos (very similar to Kindles, structurally), in covers, taken everywhere, but mindfully so. Including one going to and fro from school in an upper primary/middle schooler's backpack. Not one has broken. I'm sure my luck will break eventually and I'll accidentally fling one across the room or leave it where the cat can knock it off the table; such is life.

Or drop it in a bathtub full of hot water.

Mine's an H2O, and I don't bathe in water hot enough to destroy it from the temperature. (Or mostly at all; I'm more of a shower person.)

Besides, if you bathed in water hot enough to damage an H2O right away, you'd be scalded.

Have you been talking to my husband? You mean red isn't a good skin color.

Red is not a good skin color. You'll need to slather on lots of aloe to try to heal the burn.
