If it is anything like Gorilla Glass in hardness it won't cut or scratch easily. Today's high-end phone surfaces are pretty amazing (until you drop one). But they are advertising this as flexible and still capable of high temperature processing (for electronic fabrication). We'll see. If it is flexible but still fragile it may require a protective cover for some applications.
It would still be an improvement if an inexpensive glass cover layer breaks when you drop your e-reader rather than the E-ink glass electronic substrate.

This needs to be quoted and repeated. Gorilla Glass is the new clear.
Here's the HTC with Gorilla Glass.
Yet I've seen reports that if you drop it, it might well shatter.
