So getting a Kobo is unlikely to help you, as the same thing is likely to happen.
There are a very few eReaders that have a non-glass backplane for the E-Ink display. The Wexler Flex One was one, but is now discontinued. The EARL will be another, if it ever actually ships. Perhaps, given your track record, you should keep an eye on the availability of such devices.

There were NEVER ANY signs of any kind of 'break' or breakage on the glass.
Btw I know what broken glass looks like, at least on smartphones - and on laptops. There were no visible signs of breakage in any way, on any of them.
What there was - were random patterns of screen degradation - which appeared in totally different areas of screens. Some near a corner. Some across either the bottom or the top. Some covering large portions of the screen. Others small portions.
Incidentally I have spent considerable time attempting to get someone at Amazon to give me some explanation for this - but never came close to getting any explanation at all.
