I don't think bricking it is a real risk (if you follow the directions carefully) -- but physically destroying it is possible. Never fun to pry open the casing of a sealed device.

No, its real name is "Kindle" -- if you are going according to what Amazon says.
And no one AFAIK actually calls it a "Kindle Touch Basic" besides for you.

Because we really need a Kindle-hater here to tell us what to call our Kindles.

On which note, if http://amzn.com/kindle can be believed, it is the "Kindle Touch Screen E-Reader with Light" -- whoops!!

(Take a look at the titlebar.)
