I've had my Kindle for almost a year now. I love it. Its replaced my friends and family. It is everything I've ever wanted; the best christmas present I ever recieved.
And last night, I broke it. Accidentally, of course!
I put it on my bed because I was going to curl up with it for some late night reading and I realized that my sheet wasn't on so I made my bed (something I rarely do) and then I went to get into bed... and stuck my knee right on my Kindle screen. There was a sickening crack and my heart stopped. In the lower left corner there is a white spot now surrounded by fragmented e-ink. I cried. For an hour. It was as if my best friend had died. It was rather pitiful, actually.
Eventually, I called Kindle Support and spoke with a very nice lady who said I could get a refurbished one for $180 by Christmas. So I did that. Im so scared though because the world refurbished sends fear down the spines of technology owners everywhere.
Can you guys assure me that this new Kindle will be just as good as my poor broken baby? The lady said so, but she's paid to say that.
Have you guys ever had any problems with yours? Is it covered (again) with the 1 year warranty? She told me I had a 90 day return on it.
And I was just in the middle of a good book too!
