But @sowzeli, I've seen some people (local shops) successfully repairing touchscreens without actually replacing the glass. It will still have the cracks, but the touchscreen itself will work. Perhaps you might want to Google that or ask your local phone repair shop if they provide that service?
The Kindles here are all e-ink, not LCD.
The original post reports that "I sat on the device. The screen is broken." Which seems to say that the e-ink screen is broken.


The next line reports that the touchscreen is broken (not the e-ink screen).
On some models, the touchscreen was (is?) separate from the e-ink screen.
But I am pretty sure your Voyage is an "integrated" touchscreen/e-ink screen.
See: https://www.ifixit.com/News/kindle-voyage where it describes a "tough glass and a fused display".
And see: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Kind...Teardown/32278 step 15, last right hand bullet.
