I totally know how you feel, Rixte. My Cybook screen also broke "for no apparent reason", and it was not cheap to have fixed. Now, I'm so afraid it will break again that I tend simply not to use it. I've gone back to my Palm T/X instead. For my two cents, the whole experience has been a waste of both money and expectations. If I knew then what I know now, I'd either just have waited till these devices are not so breakable, or else possibly gone with the Kindle, since I've also heard that Amazon tends to replace units with broken screens.
