Well, it's pretty normal esp. if the screen was already broken to begin with. That's the one downside of this eInk technology, the screens are just wayyy too fragile. And if there are already cracks in it the rest of it is just even more likely to shatter too.
Sidenote: is that a carpet in your picture? Electronics hate carpets and the like (

On your pictures in the lower left, there are these two flat cables ... they are the display cables. The connectors they are stuck in have these levers or latches on top, you have to lift the latch (carefully not to break em off) then remove the cables and ... the product id should then be printed on the other side of the cable that is currently not visible.
You might have to take the mainboard off entirely to be able to remove the old screen, but I'd only do that once you have the replacement screen at hand (so you know the exact placement and such)
