This is a tip I learned years ago for removing sticker residue from paperbacks. It really works. It takes a little patience but well worth it.

The residue in the photo looks like GLUE, as though the demo was glued to some sort of stand for display. The glue may have pulled off some of the eink, rather than it being sratched off (from what appears in the photo).
Depending on how the stand was removed, it could easily have broken the glass by flexing while prying the DX off its stand. And you cannot see broken glass substrate damage until you power it up and display new screen contents.
The scratches that extend over the bezel onto the glass may be from many kindles being tossed into a large bin or box, probably damaging many of the screens.
I was very close to buying one to use its screen in my damaged DX, but now it looks like they may be broken BEFORE shipping.
Risky purchase. It would be nice to hear if anybody received unbroken screens on their units (only visible after power-on).
