powerswitch broke off the PCB and fell into the housing

hi.
just wanted to tell you that my first kindle died (before its battery was charged for the third time) by having its power-button pushed into the housing by my enormous thumb.

it was still possible to get the kindle going: plug into a computer, drive mode enables, plug out, kindle stays on.

good news: amazon just sent a new one and wanted the old one back in 30 days, so i lent the broken one to my buddy :D

bad news: the old one was signed by author Cory Doctorow. g'bye to that.
cheers!
