And sometimes they'll even do this out of warranty.

An astonishingly bad article.
Similar with my wife's refurb Kindle 2, the screen died almost entirely, very suddenly (only a little bit of it functioned). I was on the phone for like 15 minutes with Amazon, they sent another refurb via overnight shipping.

Honestly, my experience with B&N was similiar with a bad screen on my first Nook 3G, except I did get a couple of questions about whether anyone had put weight on the screen...but pretty much the same - a refurb shipped out - although it was budget 3-5 day shipping from B&N.
