I wish I had seen this before I dropped my Kindle the other day on the cement garage floor. I was practically hyperventilating! $350.00! But all was well. These are tough little critters.
Ya, right. Google DROP KINDLE and look at the actual amazon website and read the comments. No ones survived besides yours so count your lucky stars. Plus the company implied that the kindle may not be functional after the drop but IT WONT SHATTER AND HARM OTHERS AROUND YOU thank goodness. Ya, not buying it now. Spend 500 bucks on the new one and drop it a week later (thats my luck, just bought a new laptop and my three year old got into the cabinent and poor guy dropped it on his foot, shattering the screen. the laptop was three days old) and the company will not refund you any money on their false add video. DO YOUR RESEARCH glad I did.
Mine fell from the bedside table, less than 2 feet high and although the case is undamaged the kindle does not work. I only had it 2 weeks!. What a waste.
Mine also fell from a bedside table and it didn’t physically break but the screen is messed up. Had it less than 3 months. What a colossal waste of money. And I thought I did my homework, researching before deciding on the Kindle as my e-reader of choice.
