well, thanks again, guys for taking part in my post

to DNSB: no it did not happened in winter. I left it over night in the car, temp went down, then in the morning Ive changed location, a bit warmer, a bit moisture, and the glass got broken. My fault, I admit with shame, I didnt let it adapt to the new enviroment. Ive treated it like a tablet/mobile that isnt that sensible.

to Koboy: my friend wont charge me, however I dont know the costs of international justice events... However, I think that I should have been more advised from the company in inside manual/papers on how fragile these things are and what could happen in such conditions like mine. The temp difference wasnt much in my opinion, 10-15 degrees, but was enough for what happened.

to Sonist: Meera can say whatever, the screen wasnt damaged by something phisically. Period. Thanks for the support.

to frostschutz: how can I use it since there is no screen? can I connect it to a screen? I am a (proud) linux user since 2010 btw, can you be more speficic on how can I use it in another ways, please? Considering also selling it, but who would be interested in it, even at a low price?

JSWolf: not a satisfying answer. It could be done if they want to. They also could make some money out of it. Kindles are replaced even it is user fault like mine, I know cases, so this means there are more screens on the market than the actual products, no one makes 1 per 1, if you get my point. They just dont bother help. They put a 'sorry for the inconvenience' and expect you will buy another one from them.

I expect:

1- to get my screen replacet AT a decent price from Kobo

or

2- get a decent discount for another kobo ereader, or buy whats left of mine

to frostschulz again: I dont get "For some brands (that don't offer unbricking methods) you can find bricked ones on Ebay but for these it's simpler to just yank out their bricked electronics, put in your not bricked electronics, and thus have a working device without having to touch the display unit itself. " Can you be more specific please? Can it be connected to another not touchable screen? Even e-ink? Even if I loose the light or something else?

thanks all
