Should the power switch of a Kindle break, and Amazon decide that it's not a warranty repair, then you are completely stuck - there's no way to get it repaired. Bookeen always will offer you the option of a repair, even if they do charge you for it.

According to the discussion at:

Amazon seem to ship a new unit if there's a hardware fault (inc. a broken screen) - which would be better than waiting for a repair imho.

Any company that decides a broken power switch isn't a warranty repair rings alarm bells with me .
