I have some experience with ereader and based on it, I do believe that the Kobo Aura HDs are a comparatively poorly made product and more prone to break than other devices I have had. I also listed the posts above to show that there are significantly more reports of broken screens for Kobo, relative to other mainstream devices, including the Kindle.
The bottom line is, I post the best information I have based on my personal experience and based on my research, such as the links above.
You may disagree, based on your experience. Please feel free to post stuff like "mine is not broken," even though some of us may not feel it's productive or helpful. But there is no need to attack everyone who posts their dissatisfaction with Kobo. There is no need to question the integrity or credibility of everyone who claims that their Kobo's screen broke "spontaneously." Or to pontificate about how an ereader should not be left it in a car, or in the sun -- while such failures may be acceptable to you, some of us expect that Kobo's products should be as well made as competing devices, which do not appear to suffer cracked substrate nearly as often.
Again: we all have our opinions (some based on more extensive experience than others) and we should all be able to express them, without being personally attacked in every thread.
Cheers.  |
Hi.
I am not going to argue whether it is you or the Kobo.
I just went and looked at the $79 Kindle. Out of 11,000+ reviews, 7% or nearly 900 people gave it a 1 star review.
So apparently brand doesn't matter. Some people will get either bad devices (ask me about my mom's new dryer that broke 3 cycles in, it was a manufacture error) or will be unhappy with it for some other reason.
Sounds like you had a string of bad luck.
