I was hoping this line issue was just a bad batch, and since the HD has been out for a while, I was thinking new models would work better.

This is just a few people saying this. If the Glo HD was really that unreliable, we would have read many more posts from unhappy users.

To be honest, I've read about damage to most eInk Readers including Kindle and Kobo. It's not just a matter of being reliable. It's a matter of being careful. eInk screens use a glass substrate and if they get damaged, the screen is broken. Some people treat Readers like they were a cell phone and break it and then complain the Reader is faulty. I've never heard of a Reader just breaking on it's own. There's always been a cause even if the user doesn't know what that is.
