Okay, forgive me for posting this, but I have been a little concerned, and I would like some input from others (and honestly, most of the people and responses here seem nicer than on Amazon's forum, LOL).
My father bought a Kindle for me for Christmas. I am on the brink of sending it back because of some fears I have. I was wondering if anyone could help answer a few questions or simply discuss this.
One fear I have is that the Kindle is not that sturdy of a device. I guess what I mean is that it seems that I read a lot of issues that require people to replace the Kindle within the year warranty time frame. If this happens, does the warranty get extended, or are you under the same warranty?
In addition, I have read cases in which some people had their Kindle break (through no fault of theirs) a few days after the warranty expired. This obviously worries me. I know the Kindle has only been around a little over a year, so I'm not sure about the reliablity of the device, as there hasn't been that much time to test whether it lasts well beyond the warranty. Does anyone have any input on this? How many people do you know who have had their Kindle break, either before or after the warranty?
My last concern is that if my Kindle does break after the warranty, I will lose all of my books that I have purchased on it. I realize I could buy another Kindle, but honestly, I'm not sure I could afford it. If that is the case, then any book I purchased will be gone for good.
Has anyone else experienced these concerns?
