Linux Slackware 7 line
We bought the Kindle 2 in March of 2009. We kept it in a leather cover and it has never fallen on the floor or been mishandled.
It is now broken, and we have to replace the $359 device.
We would not recommend this fragile device. At this price it should last more than 16 months.
Buy at your own risk.
