I had other problems with Kobo, and went with Android.

To be fair, the original Glo though seemed to be sturdy enough physically. Software updates could cause hiccups. I had it in a sleep case, and while it stayed in the house, it could get dropped, accidentally kicked, (I read on the floor) or knocked over. My old Nook wifi still runs and has not broken. Hasn't been used, but sitting around getting stuff piled on it. The other half's used basic Kindle 4 has a puncture or something on the screen, looks like a large bad pixel but isn't. He can still read with it. (I got him a new one which he won't use until he has to.)

The ads for the inkBOOK do say glass. Glass is usually fragile. Forewarned is forearmed.
Gorilla Glass is pretty sturdy, but I don't think readers use it. Phones and tablets do.

Now if the instructions about rooting the Glo are still around, and you can change to appmarket for browser and readers, and remove Google and Kobo entirely, I might give that a go. I've had rooted phones.
