Creaking Kindle

vampmiller · 05-19-2009, 11:46 PM

Wanted to gauge if anyone else has this problem. The right side of my Kindle, especially around the home/next page button, creaks like hell when I press it. Also if I press near the screen. Doesn't happen on the left side. It feels like there's empty space under there and when I press in that area, it makes a creaking noise that's really annoying. I loathe to complain like a spoiled brat, but wanted to see if other experience this before contacting Amazon.

There have been a few other complaints about creaking. If it bothers you there is no need to put up with it. Call Amazon and have it replaced. I haven't heard of anyone being refused a replacement.
