My Kobo broke. I think I rolled on it or something, because the screen looks like it was hit by an impact, and now it's broken and I can't read anything on it.

Of course this happens now. Of course.

At least I finally got my tax return money. So there is some joy in things. But it's not like I can spend it on anything I want. Stupid lack of job...

Yeah, they told me that because the screen is cracked as well as the pixels are damaged in a huge rectangle, it would cost way more than it's worth.

It really is easy to break something that everyone expects to last. And for some people, they do last. But I've noticed that unless I treat something - anything - electronic like it's made of glass, it'll break. That was my mistake with my Kobo that time. I've had my share of busted electronics. It's sad.

Well, they're setting the prices, so I suppose that's accurate. Hooray for planned obsolescence.

If it's Nintendo it'll last!...is what I said, and then the vacuum cleaner ate my Wii Sensor Bar's cable.
I think screens are more likely to break if they lack a flip-top that laptops, some cellphones, and the Nintendo DS have. After that, a shock-absorbing case is a good investment. I just don't have one for my PSP 'cause it's junk already.

I'm not sure what company makes Kobo, to be honest. Kobo's products do last, because I bought the first generation, and it only broke because of my misplaced elbows.

The screens are so fragile ;.;, but I have more confidence in a touch screen, because they're designed to handle impacts.

So you were like, "Hey, hey, Kobo, how's it going, eh?" and you elbowed it and it broke?

No? Well, shucks.
