The k4 uses lots of glue though, and you can (will) break the eink screen if you try to remove it. Even the battery is glued in (permanently), and the back cover is glued on (but using glue that can be stretched and cut).

On the k3, you can even remove the thin glass screen from its protective backing plate, so you can see the silvery negative image on its back surface.
I wasn't sure if the person was correct or not. I figure mine is caused by all the crud that gets pushed into edges around the screen. The K4 doesn't have that problem but the K3 is impossible to keep clean.
