I was fully ready to take a big hit for my own stupidity, but Amazon decided that having a Customer for Life was better than outright charging me for the screen cost.
I'm still out my DX until the new one arrives, complicated by the fact that I'm stationed in Japan, so it's got to go to my Dad's house first. But given how it could have turned out, I'm OK with that!
I'm going to be much more careful. The Kindle gets its own dedicated resting place from now on! |
I have always raved about Amazons CS service.
I'm twice happy that you are getting yours replaced.
