I’m wondering the same thing. How are you guys separating the screen? it’s just not coming off. it’s crumbing and cracking rather than lifting.

My guess is that the e-ink TFT screen is bonded to the glass digitizer with a UV curing optically clear adhesive. The chance of separating the broken digi and the e-ink part without cracking the TFT are close to impossible. I know they use a very strong thin wire system to separate LCD’s on small devices like phones but not sure if the e-ink screen is strong. I have managed to source a couple of recycled working screens complete with digi and e-ink together for some customers. As soon as we have them here and done the repairs, we will experiment on getting one of the damaged ones apart to see if we can replace just the digitizer. REO Technology Ltd. www.reotech.co.uk

Hey folks! i feel like i found the replacement for a broken screen for kindle voyage. I am not sure about links sharing policy here, but if you will google “ED060TC1” you’ll find plenty of offers from china. In order not to be screwed by amazon manufacturer uses “Montana” as brand on a front panel. Gonna order one today.
