My kindle fell off my book wall yesterday. It met a sad fate. It fell off a weird wall we have in our house - the wall is about 40 inches tall and has a small ledge. Just about every book we own has spent some time on that wall - and many have fallen off. The kindle fell flat - the drop was really nothing monumental. There was no twirling, no flipping, no dance...just a simple "splut".
I want to note a few things - I mention that I'm too broke to replace the Kindle. Please do not think I'm fishing for a new one. I'm well aware of the warranty I can purchase from Amazon to get it replaced. I don't think it's a good use of my money because (as I also cover in the blog) I have a 2 year old. She's way too interested in the broken Kindle. I'm sure I could purchase the warranty, get the one time dropped Kindle replacement and it would soon be broken again.
I did love the Kindle while I had it, it was a shiny new object. I was an uninformed owner and had NO CLUE just how fragile it is. Had I any idea, I WOULD have purchased a cover before I bought a single book
My apologies go to the folks at dna13 since they actually paid for the Kindle. I was thrilled to win this prize at the Inbound Marketing Summit 2 weeks ago. I wish the Kindle had gone to a better home.
I want to send a special thanks to Steve Garfield. He and I talked at the Inbound Marketing Summit and I never would have used video in this blog were it not for the inspiration he shared with me. So this is my first video blog update - maybe I'll do more - I'll just try to make sure they are more celebratory.

I would call Kindle Support at 866-321-8851 and tell them your story. Even if it's out of warranty (did you receive it more than a year ago?) there is a chance they will replace it for no charge. Be polite but relentless.
