    How did you break the screen?

    It's actually the second Kindle it's happened to. The first time, I had it in my gaming backpack, with some pencils and stuff, so I'm pretty sure that's what did the damage. The e-ink looked completely cracked, even though there was no physical crack in the screen itself. I hadn't bought a warranty for it, so I had to pay $65 for a replacement.

    And then the replacement--which I had been very careful to keep in my school backpack, in the flat pocket that's between my back and my laptop pocket--also got a "crack" in the screen. Though it was much less extensive this time. Only the upper left-hand corner was affected at first, and now about 1/3 of the top of the screen has the cracking.

    It was cheaper to get one of the $75 Kindles than to replace it with the same version that I had (the $139 keyboard version), since the $65 replacement was only a one-time thing.

    This newest Kindle doesn't have audio capabilities, but I'm not really worried about that, since I've got an iPod.
