Amazon don't offer a repair service for the Kindle. If it breaks, and it's not under warranty, it's worthless. That would be a major factor in my buying decision, if I were able to buy a Kindle. Both Sony and Bookeen offer repairs - eg Bookeen charge €120 to replace a broken screen - under half the cost of a new machine.
