Precisely - and it's hard objects "digging in" to the device which will break the screen. Provided the Gen3 is well supported, there's no problem at all. I carry mine around in a briefcase (and have done for 9 months now) with no issues at all, but a "soft" backpack is not a good idea at all. Carry it in something rigid and you'll be fine.
The Gen3 is no more or less susseptible to damage that any other eInk device; abusing any of them in this way will result in breakage.
