How can you get stronger nails and my nails are always breaking during the most inconvinient times like when I pick up a book and I've just started learning guitar and I want to play without a plectrum.

Silica!
Also found as silicea. You can find it at your local health food store in capsule, tablet or liquid forms. You can get it in mineral or plant based (Spring Horsetail) formulas.
Expect to take it regularly for at least 3 months before you will see the results - the old nail need to grow out.
The bonus is that silica will also benefit your hair and skin!

Found a good page for you with things like: "Get the essential fatty acids that strengthen nails by taking flaxseed oil, says Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and president of the Whitaker Wellness Center in Newport Beach, California. It comes in capsule or liquid form, and Dr. Whitaker says to follow the dosage recommendations on the label.Flaxseed oil is available in most health food stores."

Nutra Nail "Maximum Nail Hardener" works fairly well and it's convient to buy. You can find it at a local drugstore or CVS. It costs around $3.50 - $5.

i have a friend who has the same problem like yours. She had to apply this clear liquid, like a nail polish made of collagen.. it made her nails a lot stronger and less breakage.

There is a vitamin, Biotin, that a couple of doctors recommended.
Prenatal vitamins also have a lot of biotin in them
