Kindle repair

[cjbk1]

dear all, my first time in geeky stuff so please be nice; has anyone successfully had their kindle screen replaced it's just a kindle not fire HD the screen is cracked in one corner...I googled and saw that you can replace it yourself for around £50 but has anyone done it? it's out of warranty so no worries about invalidating that..thanx in advance

A new basic Kindle is only £69. Wouldn't it be easier just to replace it with a new one?

It's a keyboard one which aren't available anymore

I had my 3 year old graphite with keyboard replaced this year by Amazon.com for 30$. - my mother had bought it in the US for me before they were here. I accidentally broke the charging socket so went on Amazon chat to see what could be done. A shiny brand new updated with keyboard one arrived from the US 2 days later and I had to post the old one back to them. They then refunded the postage to US! Brilliant service
