Kobo automatically blames any substrata lines on the customer and refuses to honor the warranty, even though the device was not dropped or mishandled.

IMO, the Kobo Aura is poorly designed and made (poor tolerances and fit and finish), which results in structural problems.

I personally would stick with a Kindle. I gave the last remaining Aura HD to my wife, since she really does not like reading on a 6" screen (too small for her)
What you don't get is that your wife now has a Kobo Aura HD and it is not broken. You had a three HDs and they all broke. Maybe that should tell you that it was something you did that caused all three to break.

I've been in possession of six different Readers and not one of them ever had a broken screen. One of these is a Kobo Aura H2O.

We've been through this in another thread that it was something you did. Nobody else has ever had three Readers spontaneously have screen breakage. Just resign yourself that you did it and it's not Kobo's fault.
