Kindles never seem to die.. I just don't like their location system with no page numbers.

The Kindle Paperwhite is just as susceptible to have the screen broken as Kobo Readers are. Both Amazon and Kobo use glass backed eInk screens. So buying a Kindle is no better than buying a Kobo. Both can break the same way. I've read plenty of posts of eInk screens breaking including Kindle and Kobo.
So your saying Kindles never die is false. They are no more sturdy than Kobo.
