Title: Hardware Doesn't Hold Up
Product review: I bought the Kindle 1 and loved the scope of the content offered by Amazon and the convenience of carrying numerous books with me overseas. When I lost the device, it was with great anticipation that I purchased a Kindle 2 in February of 2009. However, the screen malfunctioned in October of 2009 and I got a replacement unit from Amazon as it was still under warranty. Now, it is June of 2010 and the replacement Kindle has the same malfunctioning screen - the white background becomes very dark gray making it nearly impossible to read. Because the warranty is only 1 year, it will cost $135 plus shipping and handling for a refurbished unit.In my limited experience, the average lifespan of a Kindle 2 is only 7 months.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
