The screen broke on my Kobo about two months after I purchased it. The store told me that that it looks like it was physically damaged, (and not innately defective). Maybe I wasn't careful enough.

I was informed by support that if Kobo replaced the screen, the cost would be about $120 ($60 for the screen, the labor ($40), and the shipping).

I'm wondering if I have any other options. Does anyone out there replace broken screens with used (working) screen, for a less expensive experience?

Is there anything else I can do with this Kobo, except use it as pathetic memory stick?

Thanks
