I'd say it's a combination of factors. We've broken two screens in our house, one Kindle and one Tekstor Papyrus Mini (still hit myself over that one!). The Tekstor I know exactly when and why it broke. Pure user error. The Kindle is still an unknown. Naturally it didn't decide to break by itself, but apparently there was some sort of pressure somehow somewhere. It can't have been much, as it was in a box that hadn't been moved or acted upon in any other fasion. But a screen that is that fragile should have had more safeguards against normal use.
Now, an 8" device, assuming it also has that fragile layer, will need more care as there's simply a larger area to give a point-pressure on, and it's a lot easier to torque. So, it's a lot more fragile than that 6" screen of the average reader.
