It's not trolling, it's just satire.

I've done that before.

Protip:  Check your bag.  :lulz:

Mine actually survived it pretty well.  It was the casual dropping and crushing damage that I inflict on all my belongings that killed it.

Same here, I'm trying to be more careful with my second one.  Though the touchscreen seems a bit more durable in general than the non touchscreens thanks to the scratchproofing, so hopefully that will help too.

I also once broke my ereader with an errant elbow rest.

Next e-reader I get is going to be non-touchscreen, and have a homemade lexan box around it, or something suitably drastic.

I love this one. It would be awesome if they used that as an entry hallway to an underground comic shop or bar or something. Enter at the rear emergency exit, with steps at the front door of the bus leading down to the basement establishment.

When I saw that just now, my face lit up like an amazed child's first seeing a space rocket take off.
