I would think the opposite. The larger the glass, the easier it would seem to flex it and break one of the layers. Phones don't seem to have problems with breaking the glass layer with their smaller footprint.

I agree that the OP is doing something that breaks the screens. Either flexing it a while in a backpack or purse and without a cover, or something pressing against it that will cause the screen to break just as easily.

So no different brand will help in that instance. I have readers that are over 4 years old and work perfectly with not even a scratch on them. Invest in a good cover and remember that the device is mostly glass and even in a cover it requires some careful handling.
