I don't know if I am doomed. I bought an Opus last September. As I read in forums that the case provided with it was kind of unpracticle I bought a special "wallet type" case from Bookeen. Everthing was fine until January. One day, as I opened the wallet, the upper part of the screen stayed blank apart from some scribbles in the left corner. The bookeen people told me I had broken the screen from a "shock or a pressure". (It's true I turn the pages using a heavy hammer or a crow bar and I have fun throwing the reader from the twelfth storey window of my flat.) They charged me 60 Euros to replace the screen. (In fact I was given a new Opus because I had made a small mark inside the back cover and it had disappeared.) I received the 'repared' Opus on the 10th of this month. Yesterday the screen was f...ed up again the same way!.
I suppose one shouldn't "read" an Opus but merely "glance quickly" at the pages in case the weight of one's look is too heavy for the screen.
Has any one experimented such a inconvenience?
