With any decision like this one must consider at least two things: the replacement vs repair difference and the opportunity costs. The first is sort of obvious, what is the cost of repair of the old one vs the cost of the new one? Is the replacement cheaper then the repair costs of the old one, sometimes you can not get the old one repaired so this is a moot point. The second issue is the opportunity costs and this one is rather subjective: How much dollars is it worth to you to have a kindle which has no problems what so ever? Tackle these two issues and you have your definitive answer and this goes for most things that need to be repaired or replaced.
