Join the club! My Kindle Keyboard screen burst too... And at around the same spot as yours!

Me three!

Kindle Touch though.

Been that way for months, haven't really noticed it.

Sometimes I need to squint around a word.

Contact Amazon they Will replace it! My 1st K3 was 6 months old my son put his knee on it! Shattered the whole thing! That was Sunday on Tuesday I had a Brand new one in my hands!

You have a good excuse to buy a new Kindle.

JSWolf · 11-10-2014, 06:37 PM

Like I've been saying all along, a Reader should be in a cover. A sleeve is worthless if the sleeve won't fit the Reader plus a cover because once you take out the Reader to use it, it's not protected in a cover and you risk damage.

Every Reader I've had has had a cover and not a single one has ever had the screen break and yes, there has been a drop to some of them with no screen damage.

Yes, this thread is just covered with your saying that...

Not cricket, Mr Schwartz. Jon does indeed often urge people to use cases, as do I.

It is the verbiage I object to, as it implies that everyone follows all JSWolf's posts on MR.

I have no problem with the suggestion, or people saying that they always recommend cases.
JSWolf has a habit of saying things in a manner that implies we all should've known his opinions already.

Constant repetition at least offers the hope that someone will listen and save themselves the grief of a broken Kindle. At least Jon is trying to help by offering good advice.

Good grief!

I have no problem with people saying it as often as they want, and I agree it is good advice.

I simply thought it a bit strange that he said it in a manner which implied he had previously warned the OP.

Whatever. Let it rest, what little sanity this offtopic may have ever had is long since gone.

If you don't mind purple, you can get a nice new M-Edge Go! jacket for $4, which includes shipping.

Or, if you would rather have black, you can get one (with a different texture) for $6 (includes shipping).

Those are not for the newer Kindles. I be wary of ordering either of them.
