The screen is intact, but one corner looks a bit rough where I think it hit the pavement. Hoping it will last another 2 years.Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196712319655603442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-83832202830939098022013-04-06T22:44:36.999+01:002013-04-06T22:44:36.999+01:00I love the Kindle Fire.

Altogether I'm happy with it.Kathleen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645566938871914385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-7108607025308379592013-04-05T21:37:46.863+01:002013-04-05T21:37:46.863+01:00is the kindle fire screen as easy on the eyes over...is the kindle fire screen as easy on the eyes over an extended period?Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-52971880177438249822013-04-05T20:38:48.074+01:002013-04-05T20:38:48.074+01:00Not sure which I enjoyed most - the face of the pa...Not sure which I enjoyed most - the face of the past (dear Agatha!)or the inside de of your deceased Kindle...Guernsey Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10351729766544892085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-68910755446620111112013-04-05T20:31:59.301+01:002013-04-05T20:31:59.301+01:00Yes, so did I!
