But shouting down anyone who posts that their Kobo screen inexplicably broke and accusing them that they are a klutz and must have done something to break it, is presumptuous and insulting.
There is a fresh new post in the Kobo sub-forum about a broken Kobo screen, with the predictable and unhelpful "I keep mine in a good cover and it's fine, so it must be your own fault" responses.
I just did a "substrate" search in the Kindle sub-forum, which brought up one second-hand description of an unexplained substrate damage in past two years, from March 2014.
If you are correct, given that the Kindle sub-forum has about double the number of posts of Kobo's, one would have to draw the conclusion that the Kobo owners are disproportionately klutzy lot....

Search for "broken kindle" and you'll find more posts.
If there was a flaw in the HD that it spontaneously broke, then we would be seeing more posts other than yours. The fact that you broke 3 or 4 HDs would suggest to me and others that you did in fact cause the damage.
The only reason I'm asking you to stop is not because you are saying something bad about Kobo, but you are saying something that is not true.
