I've bought it from Amazon, when it was released (the international version). I wonder if this has happened to anyone too. It would be a shame to have to return it, with all associated costs and time. But on the other hand, if for some reason the crack gets worse and inutilizes the button, I can't see how could I scroll the selector cursor.

What would you do in my place?
Same exact problem on my Kindle2. Called customer support and I had a replacement unit in my hands the following day. If it's still in warranty, they'll send you a replacement unit. If not, see if they'll sell you the part and fix it yourself. There are plenty of video's showing how to pull it apart for a battery replacement. Can't be too much trouble to replace if you can find the part.
