I was thinking similar, meeera. If the car was in the sun, even if the sun wasn't directly on the reader, the heat could have been enough to warp the device and crack the substrate.
I've never pulled a Kobo apart -- is the screen mounted in a metal frame to guard against torsion? Since eink screens are inherently so fragile, maybe that would be a positive step Kobo could take in future builds?

Edited to add:
Yes, sorry, I've realised I'm stating the obvious after so many others have already posted similar comments. I misread the thread, and thought it was just one page. Oops. Still, valid question about a metal chassis, I think. It would help.]
