I live in Europe too (Romania) and I'm under a lot of stress already, expecting the arrival of my WiFi only Kindle. Hope it won't rattle

Yeah, I shouldn't but it's pretty complicated here.
The total price I had to pay for the Kindle was:
$139 for the Kindle
$20 for UPS shippinh
$70 for customs and taxes.
These $70 of customs and taxes consist of pure taxes and about $25 of some kind of payment for UPS's partner here in Croatia which is very weird seeing as I'm already paying over $20 for shipping to UPS.
Now, if I were to get a replacement, without taxes I'd still have to pay for UPS shipping ($20), the aforementioned payment for UPS's partner ($25) and shipping for the defective unit ($20 or more). I'm really not keen on dishing out another $60 - $70, even without taxes. :\
And yeah, mine is also a WiFi only and those are the only ones I've read have troubles with rattling.
I mean c'mon, what's the deal with not screwing the screws properly?!
