The substrate is an extremely thin pane of glass which forms the back of the e-ink display. The surface is intact, so you don't feel a crack. If you post a photo (check the forum guidelines first) we can confirm, but what you're describing is exactly what a substrate break looks like. The substrate can break with impact, flexion or torsion of the device, or with temperature extremes.

My understanding is that the Kobo OS is based on Linux. There are a variety of tweaks and hacks for it - check the Kobo Developer's Forum here. By Android readers I'm referring to readers like Onyx, Boyue etc. But since you seem to be pretty twitchy about battery life, I'd suggest proceeding with caution if you're going to be away from electricity for many days at a time. Or you could get a solar USB charger...
