China manufactures the Kindles

It's amazing to me now looking back that my previous Kindles (Kindle keyboard and touch) were pristine right off the bat. Obviously adding the second lighted screen has introduced a lot of potential problems, or their quality control is seriously slipping. Maybe some of both.
FoxConn in China makes all the Kindles and iPads and they use kids on the assembly lines.

Give the kids a break. No one is perfect.
