Seriously? It's a commercial for crying out loud, lighten up. Would it make you happy if they put the standard disclaimer at the end like a car commercial... something akin to - "These are paid e-book reading professionals on a closed beach, don't try this at home kiddies"? I think they are just trying to show that the product is small in size and light weight....and I'm really okay if they imply that reading is "hip", maybe more people will read! Perhaps Ford should be sure to tell everyone that they really shouldn't drive their Explorer up the side of Mt. Everest!
Besides, if someone does put their Kindle into a back pocket and breaks it, it seems to me that Amazon's customer service has shown itself to be terrific about replacing broken Kindles.
I / We get that you don't like Amazon and for some reason you find the Kindle deficient. Great! You have a Sony and like it. Again great! Maybe you missed the adage about "if you've got nothing good to say....."(and it doesn't end with "say it on the Kindle forum"!).
