They do indeed, yes, and there is a significant issue with breakage. If Amazon are aiming the Kindle DX at the educational market, they really need a device which will "survive" being thrown into a backpack and carried around a typical campus. The DR1000 wouldn't survive that for very long - it's targetted squarely at the business user. That's why I'd be surprised if Amazon used a glass screen for the DX.
To the best of my knowledge, the "sample" 9.7" screens are glass (like
this one announced by Hanlin in January
last year), but the production screens will be flexible.
