Glass? You think the e-ink display is made of glass??? It's not. And therefore it really is not so fragile.
So, there are no 'internal stresses' or 'microcrack' defects that would cause it to spontaneously 'shatter.' These screens won't crack unless they are exposed to a significant force. And Sony knows this. If your screen cracks, it is not a manufacturing defect but abuse. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, like faulty connectors, glitchy switches, etc. Not accidental damage caused by a user.
