Hi,
I'll jump on this one, giving the case no one has replied.
Not sure what you mean with a screen X more robust than screen Y. As an Engineer and IT guy, I can say LCD screens or whatever is made of glass, ceramic, etc, it is more "hard", which in Engineering terms terms means it is more difficult to scratch; the downside and the technology fact is that, whatever is difficult to scratch it is also fragile as well: LCD, Ceramic, etc. Something related with the internal atom structure: covalent bond.
After that boring technology sermon, I would not compare or be worried about what's more fragile or what's not. As an ereader, you should assume that screens are delicate so be sure you protect those with a nice cover and avoid accidental drops. Because what I explained above, I believe eink is not so fragile when you compare to a regular LCD screen, but I am not 100% of what kind of chemical structure eink screens use.
