All matte screen eink screens can suffer from that. I've never had that problem myself because I use covers to protect the screen. Switching out of the Amazon ecosystem is not going to improve build quality that way.
My advice is instead of switching to something else, buy a Paperwhite and a cover for it. You don't really have a compelling reason to change brands and you just learned how Amazon Kindles work.
As long as you use a cover, don't drop it, don't put it in a front pocket with keys or back pocket and sit on it the screen on even the Kindle basic should not be damaged.
