Kobo customer service, though... Don't get me started. |
I dropped both PW1 and Cybook Opus like that (in their respective cases) and both landed on their backs with a loud thud from 1-1,5 m (I didn't know Cybook could do pirouettes in the air) on hard floor/concrete. Both are working still today. I am using H2O these days and love it, the nicest screen I've seen so far, really feels like a book. Hope it won't die on me any time soon. Doesn't squeak either and I personally think it is well made.
