Amazon does 30-inch drop tests on Kindle.

I find it quite funny that the shots stop immediately after the Kindle hits the ground - its impossible to tell if it is doing damage or not, or if in the following bounces more turmoil ensues.
Kind of a funky way of advertising I think.

Good one Celeste!

Have you read some of the comments? People tried to drop the kindle and see if it survived. Maybe this video isn't the best thing to put on the internet...

That's a first generation Kindle, isn't it?  I wonder if a K3 would survive.  And I am amused by other people who comment and talk about dropping theirs.

I have dropped my K3 many, many times especially when I first got it.  I have Guillian Barre Syndrome and have severe hand numbness hence the fumble-fingers! It's hit hard enough several times that the device case itself would pop open around the corners. So far it has worked without a hitch. I have since bought a case which helps with the dropsy issue. Electronics by nature are not devices made to toss around so I'm impressed with it's durability.
