I've an incredibly hard time believing in screens that just break by themselves without outside influence. Maybe it got a hairline crack at some point and it just pops a while later.
Also, human memory does funny things. If you read until exhaustion and then go to sleep, you might not remember the next day that you dropped the reader or put your elbow on it before putting it on your nightstand...
You only see the damage after a screen refresh, so if you drop your reader and pick it up, it probably looks fine, but if you turn it on / flip the page the next day, bam there it goes.
