Title: Kindle a lemon
Product review: I was so excited when I first got my Kindle and it was a great companion on my commute to work. Unfortunately, it was not built to last. Conveniently, outside of the 1 year warranty period and POOF! No more screen. Despite being careful and keeping in its protective leather carryall, my Kindle bit the dust. Now my options from Amazon are buy a new Kindle 2 or buy a refurbished Kindle for $180.All of a sudden the shine and sheen of the new ebook isn't so glamorous. I love the convenience but if they can't make a product that can last for little more than a year, another failed attempt to replace the tried and true -- at least my book won't fail after a year.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
