Hi there,

My Kobo Glo HD's screen cracked when I accidently leaned on it (everything else is still working, except for the e-ink display). Now I want to replace the e-ink display. Someone on some forum said it is quite easy to replace the screen. The problem is now: where do I find a replacement screen?
On sites like aliexpress.com I find mainly replacement screens for other devices. Only one for the Kobo Glo HD and it costs 90 euros. Some company in my home country (the Netherlands) tells me that they can repair my Kobo for 53 bucks. Of course they won't tell me what kind of screen they will install.
I see that those e-ink screens have a type number. Does anyone know the type number of the e-ink display of the Kobo Glo HD N437?
That number would make my search a lot easier I suppose.

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,
Rudy
