Yes, from the Frequently Asked Questions - iRex Digital Reader 1000

Q: Has anything been done to the screen to address the durability issue? And is the display still utilizing a glass substrate material?
A: The display is still utilizing a glass substrate material like all E-Ink based display on the market today, however we have developed a new mechanical architecture that has been designed to improve the product rigidity and to reduce the chance on glass breakage.
