Title: my kindle broke after one year
Product review: I purchased the 1st generation kindle and barely a year later, i got the "screen of death". This is after much care and nurturing, no overusage and well protected in a cushioney case. After speaking to the customer service agent, and doing a few little tests, like alt G and alt, shift R and put the paperclip in the reset button, he said there was a screen failure. He also informed me that my warranty had just ended. The `agent' gave me three options:1. Repair the kindle for $180.00. Ummmm....no. Doesn't he know we are in a recession?2. Buy a refurbished 1st generation kindle for $200. Now why on earth would I do that when mine barely last a year?3. Purchase a brand new kindle. Of course! What a genius idea.You know what, I will keep buying my paperbacks thank you.
