hey OP. I'm basically in your backyard- over in the festival city. *peeks in window*

I never had no hairline cracks but I've had some bad luck with bunged up kindles.
the last time I bought a k3 and the battery was toast, so they sent another.
this time an ink capsule seem to be exploded, leaving a splotch on the screen.
bleh.. long story short, I had them both at the same time so I ended up throwing my arms in the air and cracking them open, putting the bad battery into the one with the bad screen and sending that one back. I'm happy with the result. Seems more solid than either of them were for some reason..

I've also had to send a DXG back for a bad screen and get a k2 replaced after it froze.
Maybe kindles just aren't hardy enough to stand the moose transport up here, eh?
