    Oh yeah, I’m not saying you did anything wrong I’m just telling people to protect themselves when they buy their products.

    They make nice eink devices, they just have a tendency to implode fairly often so definitely have buyer protection for a couple of years if you’re going to spend on one.

    There’s really nothing you can do to go after them either, I doubt they have enough of a presence in the US to make a small claim worthwhile.

    I’d you bought yours with a credit card take a peek at your card agreement and see if you have any coverage for electronics purchases. You might have coverage for 1-2y for phones, tablets, computers, etc and could make a claim through your CC company.
