I also average about a hundred books a year, and the only problem I've had with a kindle was forgetting it in my back pocket and sitting in the car. ("Craaaack&quot

I called Amazon and told them that through my own fault, I had broken my kindle by sitting on it. They had a new kindle in the mail to me that day - for free! - along with a link to print out a label to return the broken one for free.

I haven't had any other issues with kindle, but I sure can't fault Amazon's customer service after that.
