joepie,

Thanks for the very helpful analysis.

This was the ONLY time I ever put it in a travel bag other than the "Sidecar" I bought last year that is designed to hand carry or over the shoulder strap use specifically for tablets, readers, etc. It has ample padding and protection.

It is possible that the side pocket of the bag received pressure at some point that did the damage though that will remain a mystery.

Other than the miniscule power button, I have been more than satisfied with the 840 for almost all of my reading needs. Especially with the beta of the new software, it does its job wonderfully well.

Your comments have made me feel more secure in getting a replacement rather than going the i86 route which does far more than I need or require and at a much higher price.

Now watch, I will order the replacement next week and then at CES Las Vegas in January we will probably see an all new update of the 840!

Thanks for your helpful comments.
