Then maybe you have a new one. Mine were most definitely metal. One of the hooks, the top one, even had some of the black paint scratched of at the tip, which would indicate that it most definitely came in contact with something in there.
And the word "hinge" I think is not meant to be taken like like those you find on a door. Amazon themselves refer to those hooks as hinges: "Our patent-pending hinge system secures Kindle in place."
