This is still using a glass screen, which is apparently required for the Wacom touch capability. This gives iRex a jump on their competitors (who are all switching to plastic screens) but only time will tell how fragile the screen is. From the FAQ iRex Digital Reader 1000:

Q: Has anything been done to the screen to address the durability issue? And is the display still utilizing a glass substrate material?
A: The display is still utilizing a glass substrate material like all E-Ink based display on the market today, however we have developed a new mechanical architecture that has been designed to improve the product rigidity and to reduce the chance on glass breakage.
