I did this - it got crushed trying to fit a flight bag into Ryanair's stupid size gauge at the airport. Wife spoke to Amazon support, got a replacement shipped over in two days FOC apart from post and packing (75 USD as I recall). Resynched from the Cloud-stored copies and back to normal a day later.

Give Amazon a call. they really are very good.

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.

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

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

Foogling currently but getting nowhere.

Insurance? Accidental damage?

I hope you have beaten the child.
