This morning it slid off my lap and gently hit the floor and died! I have committed Kindlesaughter!
I just placed a next day order to Amazon for a new one.
If they come out next week with a touchscreen K3, I'm killing somebody!

What do we learn from this experience? If your reader is about to fall down, make sure it crashes down hard (and preferably in a spectacular fashion). Gentle handling will break the screen every time. You have to be cruel to be kind.
Is Kindleslaughter a crime? What about Kindlecide? Was it a crime of passion?
