I love the functions, the readability, the portability and the design.

However, Amazon should feel ashamed for putting such a phenomenally fragile device out into the public sphere.

Two days ago I was reading my kindle in my living room and placed the device on my thigh while answering a phone call. My Kindle slipped off my leg and landed flush with the floor. The fall was ~2 feet. When I picked it up and attempted to turn the page I noted that half of the screen was blank. My Kindle is shot. Gone, Worthless.

Did I mentioned that it dropped less than 2 feet onto a CARPET FLOOR? A padded, carpeted floor. Yes folks, it’s true.

Seeing as Amazon has no intention of providing me anything approaching a fair and equitable repair fee for my loss, I can only hope that other disappointed customers will get together and file a legal challenge to Amazon for their misleading videos showing Kindle’s robustness.

It is a good idea poorly executed and terribly engineered.

I will not be purchasing another and plan to vent in every venue I can on just what a piece of junk this thing is. One need only Google search terms for ‘fragile kindle’ to see just how many other customers have gone through what I experienced a few days ago.

Until Amazon makes appropriate engineering changes this item is a definite ___DO NOT BUY___
