That's a broken screen. Were any of these devices in sturdy cases?
I'd recommend you get another Paperwhite, based on your comments.

ALL of the devices were in sturdy, protective cases at the time of the failures. All had been treated carefully & respectfully - with all the usual warnings/caveats that Amazon cautions users - no liquids, no spills, never placed the Kindle atop any radiation-emitting devices, etc etc etc
And all failed.
Supposedly, there's an old adage that those who do not learn from history's mistakes are compelled to repeat them. In this case, the mistake seems to be Amazon's abysmal QC/Quality Control on a number of their Kindles.
I like them when they work.
But after 7 failures.....I'm hesitating.
Any Kobo users out there care to check in on the question of reliability?
