If you search the forums someone posted pics of the innards of a Kobo. We are talking a near paper thin piece of glass so it wouldn't take much bend over the fairly large surface area of device to stress it enough to break.
But I do agree that worst case should be status quo. Marketing dept likely never thought of the other ways no glass could be interpreted.
