Its isnt problem if I break screen by myself. Its understandable that battery dont hold lifetime and if it still works after couple of years, Im ok with that. But when I read reviews I sometimes find reviews which says that screen gets 'dead pixels', or other device problems which wasnt caused by users. Also most of people says that kobo customer service is very bad so Im afraid of that..
