>- e-ink displays are incredibly fragile. I think the display on my kindle is about as solid as a cellphone display...I carry mine around in a cargo pocket and it regularly gets slammed into furniture. I mean, i do break them, but I break cellphones, too, and I treat my kindles rather harder than I treat my cellphone.
