Your Kobos weren't defective, they had their glass substrates broken. I suggest you get an LCD tablet with gorilla glass if you want something that is more likely to withstand your treatment of it, if that treatment isn't going to change. You have a huge amount of choice in your size range, with your first decision being iOS vs Android. If price is no object, I recommend an iPad Mini Retina - it's a lovely device. If budget is constrained, the choice in Android tablets goes from premium right down to really-quite-cheap, but of course quality is compromised at those lower levels (and I'm not sure if the glass has the same resistance to breakage).
