Foogling currently but getting nowhere.

Insurance? Accidental damage?

I hope you have beaten the child.

Never heard of it - firstly with it being so thin are you sure only the screen is damaged? You might be best asking Amazon directly in case they can help. Also they have a very active Kindle forum: Amazon.co.uk: Customer Discussions: kindle forum

TBH if it's outside warranty, getting a new/refurbished one might be as cheap. Take a look at the new version too.

I meant the cheapo non-touchscreen, non-keyboard one. I lose track of the names... http://www.reghardware.com/2011/10/1...azon_kindle_4/

There are instructions on instructables.com for how to replace the screen - someone got hold of a cheap Sony e-ink reader and replaced the Kindle screen in there.

HTH.

I know someone who got his Kindle replaced for free, said the screen cracked when he was removing it from the cover, a know fault.
