Broken DX screen

Hi

Tragically broke my DX screen yesterday, does anybody know about repairs and costs?

Preferably in London, but i presume it unlikely there will be an option for this.

Thanks.

I say this without any experience with Kindle repairs. I would imagine, like all electronic products these days, the cost of repairs exceeds the cost of purchasing a new one.

Well I just called Kindle customer support, told them what happened and I was looking for a price for repair (I didn't even buy my Kindle from Amazon, it was second hand on ebay). They told me with about 2 minutes they were going to send me another one.

I love amazon.

It seems to good to be true, just got the confirmation mail from amazon saying the new one is on its way. Amazing.

And some people wonder why Kindle owners are so loyal.

Amazon CS is the best.

Yup... that is a big reason why I chose the Kindle over the other readers... and with what happened to me and B&N...

yes they are sending it completely free of charge. I didn't even really have to say much. One of the only positive experiences I think I have ever had with a customer service department.
