My reader slipped from my hand and fell 1 ft into my soft and cushy briefcase that was filled with papers and cushioned the fall. i was not even remotely concerned about it and stuffed it in the pocket of my case and went home.

Upon getting home and settling in to my favorite reading chair, i found that the reader no longer turns on. The power switch seems to stick and although it feels like it should still switch on, it does not.

I am certainly hoping that sony will replace it, there is no reason that the reader should break in this manner. i just bought it two weeks ago, but i am concerned i will have to fight tooth and nail to get a new one.... it does make me think i should get the extra protection plan in the future however.

off to the mall to get a replacement.
