I was reading last night and set my Kindle down on my nightstand instead of getting out of bed and putting in back on top of the computer as I usually do, lazy me. This afternoon I was changing out the bulb in the floor lamp next to the nightstand. I pulled it forward to reach the bulb when I heard a sickening *clunk." I'd been using an old trophy to keep the lamp from moving, it's kind of wobbly, and I'd pulled the lamp forward enough to knock this heavy trophy right over on top of my Kindle!
Thankfully, for some reason I'd set the Kindle down upside down, and I always keep it in its case. I think those two things saved the screen from fracturing. So far there aren't any signs of cracks, and the display seems to be working okay.
I nearly had a heart attack when I realized what I'd done.
