I think we all have very high expectations. The thing is that Kobo meets them.
Show me another company that makes a 6.8" reader (or larger, but still affordable), with the H2O's display quality, that is customizable and at the same time not brickable [that's how I lost one of my readers - the display was fine but what good is that if it won't boot and there is no way to recover], supports EPUB, and Japanese, and ... has page flip keys and white housing instead of black
Kobo H2O is not my perfect reader (wishful thinking) but it's the one closest to it. Kobo makes great devices
If I go by your example I have to say there are probably few people affected by cracks but they sure make a lot of noise (understandably - to some extent).

In case of Kobo's it's still doubtful it's an issue of the device itself and not just general fragile-ness of eInk that comes with the technology. Those Sony there you can see the damage looks more or less identical on the covered ones so it seems to have been an issue with the device. For Kobo - need more data.
