Harry, I posted about my experience with Kobo devices and Kobo's customer service compared to Amazon's customer service. You may disagree, but please do not make unwarranted assumptions about the "habits" of someone you know absolutely nothing about. If you wish to share your personal long-term experience with Kobo devices, or want to explain why Kobo is better than the Kindle for you, please do.
Again, one of the broken screen devices was in my possession. The other two were not -- one was left on a chaise lounge, the other was in luggage. Neither had been dropped. The experience of the Best Buy reviewers I quoted above is similar.
Since Kobo Aura HD is the only device (out of many different brands) that has had numerous screen issues, methinks it is more likely that it is something to do with Kobo's build quality.
As to EPUB compatibility, it's largely irrelevant if one uses something like Calibre, which will convert between formats rather well.
Here is a guide for using Calibre with the DRM plugins:

For what it's worth, I recently switched from Kobo Aura HD to Kindle Voyage and converted The Goldfinch to MOBI so that I can continue reading on the Kindle. The page count was wrong on the Kobo (not a big deal), but it was correct on the Voyage. Another small plus for the Voyage in my book.
I do make most of my ebook purchases on Amazon, since both the selection and the prices are generally better than those in the Kobo store.
