Google for "Kindle broken screen" or so, and you will see that they all look pretty much like your screen. Your only option is to replace the screen - or the whole device. If you decide for the latter, you may want to announce that you have a Kindle with a broken screen to give away (say, for the cost of shipping). It is still a valuable device for some of the developers here.
Sorry for the bad news.  |
Yup -
Mention your country, we have developers spread around the world.
Someone close to you may want it.
In my past few weeks of shopping for "broken" Kindles to use as development boards . . . .
I have found an interesting (and someday troublesome) thing about the Kindle Paperwhite:
The Touch Screen layer and the Front Light layer survives, but the actual e-ink screen still breaks.
Careful shopping can turn up something that will work as a development board at a very low price.
Except for the DX and DXG - -
Even after being run over by a truck and passed through a wood chipper, those things are still expensive.
