can i exchange my spoiled kindle with amazon (under one year warranty)

hi folks, i accidentally kneed on my kindle, and the screen cannot display anymore ( but without any physical damage).

is that possible to ask amazon for an exchange? or i need to pay an amount for the repair?

thank you for the helps!!!

They might replace it for a reduced charge, however, the normal warranty doesn't cover accidental damage. The extended warranty that you can purchase with the Kindle will cover a one time accidental damage.

Ask them. Although the warranty does not cover accidental damage, there are many reports of Amazon being remarkably generous when it comes to replacing Kindles which have been broken by their owners.

It sure is!

May I recommend a cover for your kindle? Also not kneeling on it is good, but a cover (I like the Amazon ones) helps give that fragile screen some protection.

No, not Amazon CS, but Kindle CS. They are different.
