To be so upset that my kindle is broken?

[maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour]

Talk about the straw that broke the camels back

I know that I will get a resounding YABU and entitled but I could honestly just cry and cry

I loved that kindle, I am stuck in bed most days (I'm disabled not just lazy ) and it was fab for keeping me occupied. I won't be able to replace it, my DH saved up for months and months to buy it for me

Things have been pretty crappy for us recently but I always try and look on the bright side and count my blessings, but this has really got to me!

So come on- bring on the YABU's

YANBU. I also spend a lot of time in bed or on the sofa (disabled also, not lazy) and I thought I'd lost my kindle. I cried. Then I found it in the biscuit cupboard.

def call them. i didn't know that amazon did this and when dh broke his (which i had had my us based sister get him for his 50th brthday when they forst cameout) we did nothing and waited until i saved up enough for a replacement 3 years later!

Oooh good luck OP, fingers crossed for a happy Kindle outcome.

They replaced mine when it broke too, but it was within the warranty time.

I have the app on my iPad as well. The thought of them both breaking makes me feel ill!

YANBU at all. I've got no excuse for laying about and reading mine but I do it anyone. Another massive praise for Amazon here. Mine stopped working just in warranty and I had a new one delivered next day, no charge.

To be fair, they want you buying digital books from them so they have a vested interest in keeping you attached.

I am another one who spends most of the time in bed (disabled and lazy) so get irrationally upset at the thought of these mishaps!

Defo call amazon, they have replaced my friend 4 times now and she trod on one of them and they just sent her a new one,

I have a kindle on order for my birthday, can I ask if anyone has one that hasn't broke?!

mine hasnt broken - had it at least a year now (better not have jinxed it now!)

Household insurance? Or just ring amazon and see what they say... They are generally pretty good.

Another vote for Amazons amazing Kindle support.

I sold all my old clothes to buy one for DH at Christmas. He loves it. Then I had to go to A&E so borrowed it for the inevitably long wait. Promptly collapsed on arrival and the paramedics ran over the dropped Kindle with a gurney. Wasnt complaining, just a bit gutted (and guilty!)

DH rang Amazon at 8pm that night to see what we could do about the cracked screen and they shipped out a new one free of charge. Arrived the next morning!
