Frankly, large screen breakage seems to be a non-issue.
Yes, users are generally able to figure out, that their glass screen can break, if hit with a rock. But the same holds for small screens as well.
I've seen about as many reports of cracked small screens, as I have seen large ones. People have been using tablets and 15"-17" laptops for years, and there is hardly an epidemic of broken screens. Use common sense and a decent cover, and you'll be fine.
And I really doubt most people carry their readers around daily, unless they have a long daily commute on a train, or something. And many commuters carry a larger bag of some sorts, anyway, suitable for a hard-cover or a larger ereader.
But, most read at home. And for regular reading at home, a large screen is hard to beat, IMO. And the K DX is getting close to the perfect size.
