Nice, reasonable response there. And yes, I am quite familiar with the concept of Occam's Razor. Applied to this situation, it would lead to the conclusion that the Reader was subjected to a simple, common bump or other force (it being a portable device) causing it to break, and was not broken because of a mysterious 'manufacturing defect.'
