Look at the Kindle forum here at MR. Do you see any significant number of reports of broken PWs?
Yeah, actually I do. Take a look at amazon reviews and search for "broken" - there are quite a few. Some are outside of the 1 year warranty but that is my point, I want something that lasts more than 1 year. Ours is about 4 yrs old.
