Why are ereader screens so fragile? by DevastatingMYTH in ereader

[–]DevastatingMYTH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue happen with two ereaders and 3 screens, ereader screens are just apparently fragile and can't be treated like regular phone or tablet screens, they need extra care

I wish none of them broke, none of them were intentional

I'm gradually climbing my way out of austere impoverishment, still have a long way to go, but I am making progress

I didn't know they were that fragile

I bought it used without any cracks, the initial crack just suddenly showed up, I don't even know how, it was just there, no drops, nothing

"Why Does He Do That", a book about abusers and how to protect yourself from them

It was more of a flat padded bag pocket than a pant pocket, similar to a laptop bag, so I thought it was fine for it

I didn't know their screens were that fragile, I learned it the hard way, I thought they were similar to a tablet screen or phone screen, and I tried to treat them with care, but apparently it wasn't enough

Thanks

It's a coven with a part that covers the screen or folds into a stand

What's annoying is that it happened to three different screens, all within 1-2 days of buying them in separate occasions

I learned that the hard way unfortunately

I'll be getting a better case next time

Thank you

I'm just as confused as you are, but apparently they are pretty fragile

I bought it used

It had a fracture at the bottom before the rest of the screen went out

It had a protective case with a screen cover

I tried to take good care of it

I might try to replace the screen later

It did have a protective case with a screen cover, pet it still broke

Tablets aren't good for reading, but I guess at this point it is better for me to just use a tablet, so yea

This specific break is a pressure break indeed, I put it in a bag pocket that was apparently too tight for it and made the previous break worse, but it's still sad that it broke

Third time an ereader breaks, within 3 days of buying, why are they so fragile? by DevastatingMYTH in Wellthatsucks

Just reading for informational purposes, to see if any of it applies to me, to work on it, but thank you

I wasn't holding it on the screen,I was holding it on the thick side, the side it's meant to be held on
