[QUOTE=Bakkie;2745916]Thanks everyone for your replies. I did not have my ereader in a case, was planning to buy one but did not get around to buy one yet.. If only I would have know how fragile those ereaders (E-ink screens) where..

Hi Bakkie (that's my hairdresser's name too!)
My one month old Aura was knocked off my desk last night and is toast. I
called Kobo and they confirmed. I had more problems with it in the last 30
days than I can tell from having to replace it due to defective device to weeks spent trying to get on internet. Frankly I am glad it is gone. Have ordered a Google Nexus 7 tablet which I should have done in the first place. If you go on the internet they do have a reputation for being very fragile especially the
screens. I figure they were crap to begin with and now that is why they are going out. Sorry it is tough to lose that kind of money so fast. I should have taken the money and bought lottery tickets instead.
