My Kindle Broke

Posted on | August 12, 2008 | No Comments


This is after a week or two of it sitting in my bag while I was busy reading real books. Apparently this is not a new complaint. And while the replacement service seems rather easy, it’s complicated by one factor: I received my Kindle as a gift. It was an extremely generous, unexpected graduation gift from a family friend, and now I have to pester her about calling customer service and receiving the replacement because they can’t accept my account.

I have had nothing but good things to say about the Kindle until now, when it lets me down in a big way. Damn, these things are flimsy.

UPDATE: I didn’t have to go through the gift giver. That’s what I get for calling as Kindle customer service is closing, but I received an email today saying he was wrong.
