Hello judith009,
I know you're right, but amazon also wants to sell as much books as possible - so the kindle's price is not only "labor" related.
The thing is I'm so disappointed - and I deeply regret buying the kindle (even If the screen fascinates me).
Cheap labor does not mean bad quality control - and it seems this screw issue is not an isolated problem. They could have a major manufactoring problem here - and that could destroy all their marketing efforts.
(if it is a metallic part - it could cause a short-circuit which would cause a fire...)
