Supposing the above has some merit to it, I would then argue that unless there are other obvious signs of damage, a broken substrate should be considered as a manufacturing defect and treated accordingly.
Just a few thoughts from me. I will admit that I have never had a broken screen in the eight years I have been reading on eink devices, and I have never treated them with kiddie gloves.

It only seems to happen mainly to either the Aura HD or the H2O, so i believe you raise a valid point regarding those two particular devices.
