I called Amazon tech support, yadda, yadda, restarted, troubleshooting -- the short answer is that it is considered a hardware defect, and their only solution, since it is out of warranty, is that I buy a refurbished Kindle from them at a reduced price.
Is this the way to go? I'm not sure of the wisdom of getting a refurbished model. They are offering me Paperwhite models only.

If you are willing to JailBreak your device, perhaps can you salvage your keyboard usability by remapping some broken keys from the upward part to other working ones in the downward part using the Keyboard hack
