Don't know how easy they break, since I haven't dropped one. I mean, when was the last time you dropped a book to the floor, or your phone?

My phone does occasionally drop to the floor.

I keep my Paperwhite 2 with me always and have started buying jackets based on whether or not they have pockets into which my Kindle fits.

I already wear Scottevest clothing, so I have big enough pockets :) At least when I'm wearing more than just a T-Shirt.

Also check out the Kindle add on for Chrome/Mozilla. It sends web pages directly to your Kindle.

In what kind of instances do you use it?

In what kind of instances do you use it?

Whenever I want to read articles or text, but not on my computer. Either because I want a distraction free environment (no tabs on the Kindle), or because I won't bring my laptop with me, or because I'm outside and need a glare free screen, or because I prefer the soft light of the Kindle screen late at night and in bed, etc., etc.

My most recent sent-to-Kindle article is this one. If I like it, I will import it into my Calibre library and tag it as "read" and maybe "thinking" or "creativity" or some such. As an alternative to bookmarking or Evernote web-clipping.
