As you are expressing your opinion based on your experience, you shouldn't be surprised when someone else states their opinion based on their experience.
Not exactly the same. I have never had a problem with a Sony, Irex or a Kindle, but if someone reported a problem or dissatisfaction with one of these brands, I don't jump in with a "mine works fine, so it must be your fault" comment.

I have relayed my own experience, as well as gone through the trouble to do a simple "substrate" search in both the Kindle and the Kobo forums here, and posted what I believe supports my claim that Kobo devices are considerably more likely to have "spontaneously" broken substrates.

Please prove me wrong and post the data you have "gleaned" to support your claim that Kobo does not have more broken substrate issues than Kindle.
