Do not put a Kindle on a Backpack together with a laptop and an SLR Camera

Update (October 19th 2011): +Colin Noller and Amazon support Rock! They’re sending me a new Kindle today. Thank you Colin for letting me know that Amazon support was so awesome. I’ve just saved over $100 thanks to your comment on this post.
If you have issues with your Kindle call 1-866-321-8851 and press “3”. Representatives are nice, smart and reasonable. Also didn’t have to wait to be taken care of, they got it down.

The hardcover wasn’t enough to protect the screen, and now here I am, broken hearted.
Kindle 120pts : Paper Books 2pts (more durable, no batteries required)
So I guess now I have an excuse to try the Kindle Touch.
I’ll def. be more careful with it, would’ve never imagined my kindle would’ve broken inside my backpack, and with a hard cover in it. You live, you learn, you open broken kindle to see what it has inside. If I see interesting stuff inside it I’ll post pictures.
