I wonder if the capsules can expand and pop if they get too hot? I would think that the glass evenly distributes low-impact force and the beads are more flexible than the glass. It seems that the glass could break long before popping a capsule. Perhaps pressing on the glass can pop them without cracking the glass though. Just guessing here.
P.S. I prefer "bead" over "capsule" because it is easier to type on my onscreen tablet keyboard. And beads are small, a capsule is something you stick on a rocket, and I love rocket-science. 
@andyh2000: Thanks for the photo that shows what I was trying to describe. That "multiple pixels per bead" thing is something I hadn't seen before. Perhaps that is used on the new higher-resolution Paperwhite kindle. Awesome!
