I loved my kindle paperwhite so much. I have a case on it all the time, there is not a single scratch on my kindle. One day, out of the blue, the touch screen stopped working. it is unresponsive to any touch, I've soft reset it, hard reset it, googled everything. Apparently its a common thing in amazon forum, and of course what does amazon support say? just buy a new one. At this point my kindle is only 2.5 years old and I'm pissed.

I've bought an ipad since and just read book from my ipad. at least my old ipad doesn't break even after 8 years

My Kindle Paperwhite has been running strong for 10 years. No issues whatsoever except diminished battery life.

Yeah, my 2011 Kindle 3G needed a new battery, but otherwise, it's still as good as new.

Were the quality standards just different back then?
