Correct me if I'm wrong (I can't get to the website from work) but I don't recall seeing anything saying that the screen is more delicate than, say, a PDA.
I wasn't able to find anything on the website that indicated the Cybook needs extra special care either. I've actually dropped mine several times in the case, and at least once onto carpet out of the case. Thankfully my Cybook is still going strong. I have had my Cybook since Christmas and haven't really treated it in any special way other than to use the case for transport and storage. I prefer the smaller size of the "naked" Cybook for casual reading. So far I have been lucky, fingers crossed that this continues to be the case.

I actually think it should be included. I wouldn't store my iPAQ without the plastic screen cover closed, and I don't think the Cybook should be stored without some sort of protection for the screen either. I certainly wouldn't ever pack my Cybook around in my purse if it wasn't in some sort of case.
