Title: The Kindle Drop Test is Fiction. Do Not Believe That the Kindle can withstand a gentle drop.
Product review: I recently purchased my Kindle and was more than pleased with it. Yesterday, I dropped it from a height less than the "Drop Test"height(used in sales promotion) and the upper right corner will not display. I spoke to a tech in Costa Rica and we attempted to reboot. That did not work. My only other option is to purchase another Kindle for $135.00. There are no warnings as to the fragility of the Kindle. I never expected that such a slight accident would result in the need to purchase a completely new reader. I had a ployeurathane M-Edge protector on my Kindle to protect it from just such accidents. I feel very bad about the product but like the concept and the portaility so much that I am spending the additional money but do so feeling duped and treated unfairly by Amazon. I will handle my reader with great care as I really don't want to purchse another one at the $135.00 price.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
