My screen broke about six months into my ownership and they replaced it free, no q's asked. Received it in only a few days. Unfortunately, the replacement broke about a month later. Still gotta find out if I can get it replaced :( New screen (~$100) costs more than replacing the Kindle. And btw, the two biggest technical probs w/ Kindle are broken screens and freezing up. Hard reset usually works, but not always. Amazon talks you through the troubleshooting.<br /><br />And yes, you keep your books. They're all saved in the Cloud and you just download them to your new Kindle or to your Cloud Reader.<br /><br />I did cry the second time my Kindle broke. Guess my heart broke with it, lol.Angela McCallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610798614001745001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-45288547069308944442011-12-27T21:53:52.302-05:002011-12-27T21:53:52.302-05:00Sorry about the Kindle.
