AFAIK, in most cases, the display module, light guide and (if wanted) capacitive touch are purchased pre-assembled from eInk. I agree the company assembling the ereader should have powered on and tested the module prior to final assembly. Of course, this step would add cost both for the inspection itself and any modules rejected by inspection which may cause this step to be skimped if not skipped.
