Libra 2 is still using a glass substrate screen, so it's best not to drop it at all. Eink displays with glass substrate are very fragile. For some older devices it was possible to buy replacement screens from Aliexpress but even if you were able to procure a replacement part, it's difficult here since all the connectors have waterproofing seals on them.

Yeah, it's not meant to be used with the frontlight off unless you're out in the sun I guess.
My Aura H2O is "whiter" (but also lighter black so contrast might not be that different) but even on the H2O I always used the frontlight at around 5% or so. For the Libra 2 I'm closer to 10%-15% front light level - but due to different light characteristics that percentage can't be compared anyhow.
