...I'd had my Kindle 2 for about 15 days and decided to show it off to my Father in Law. Of course, I fumbled the removal of the device from its neoprene wallet above the only non-carpeted floor in their house and it plunged 2.5 feet, landing on a corner. So now I have a Kindle 2 with an arc-shaped portion of the screen which is scrambled beyond repair, and no extended warranty. At some point, I will have to pay another $200 to get it fixed, though as it's still readable (though I can't see the wireless and battery indicator and I lose a few words from the first lines), so I may just live with it for a bit (or until the price of repairs drops).

I can't begin to tell you how annoyed I am with myself!

Cheers

Nick
