When I searched for "substrate" in the Kindle sub-forum, in addition to the one second-hand description of inexplicably broken substrate, I found two posts since early 2014, both stating that they dropped their Kindles.

In the Kobo forum, there are a whole bunch of posts just this year, from users claiming that they have substrate cracks, but have not dropped, or otherwise damaged, their Kobos. Below are the posts about likely broken substrate, since about April 2015:
I'm not calling you a liar. I'm calling you misguided because there is no way you could not have broken all of those Readers without having caused the problem in some way.

Sometimes all it takes is a bump or something heavy put on top. You might might see a problem right away and then it happens. So why you did not knowingly drop or bash your Reader, you did do something that caused the screen break. Leaving it in a very hot car can cause the problem.

So really, just because these people said that have no idea how it happened does not mean that didn't do it.
