Nose damages Oasis screen - Amazon to blame for designing faulty cover

First, I had a cover on my ebook, and the cover failed to protect the screen. True, it was folded back, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to read the ebook, "Reanimators," by Pete Rawlik. But that's no excuse for the cover failing to protect my Kindle Oasis.

All I was doing was lying in bed on my back, the Oasis held about 1 foot above me. I momentarily fell asleep - not because Rawlik's book was boring; on the contrary, it's quite exciting - and the Oasis crashed into my nose.

The problem may have been that the Oasis is too light. Imagine (if you will) that you are holding your hands in the air above your head. Wouldn't you fall asleep, thinking that you're holding nothing and that there's no reason to hold your arms up in the first place?!

Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed in Amazon. If they had engineered this device properly, there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

Amazon should have designed a cover to protect it from nose drops, and they should have made it no lighter than an Ipad, but heavier than a feather.

Photos to follow, as soon as my nose heals sufficiently so that I no longer have to breathe through my mouth.

This is a true story. Otherwise, it would be false.

(Photos actually WILL follow, but only after I see who is in sympathy with Amazon. I want to know my enemies.)
