Title: Busted LCD screen - shelf life less than 18 months
Product review: I purchased my Kindle in December 2009 and only use it for long travels of which I've had 4 since then.It is great for when you're travelling as you don't need to take all your books. Sadly, this year in May, I was travelling to Europe and found that my Kindle malfunctioned. Initially I thought that perhaps I hadn't charged it properly but after plugging it in all night, it was still the same the next day - the LCD screen just blew out, I have no explanation, but screen ended up with white horizontal strips across it and grey coloured vertical lines. There is nothing I can do and the whole Kindle is useless now. You can't see anything.So if you get a Kindle be prepared that it isn't going to last that long. For me, even with infrequent use, it lasted 17 months.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
