Kindle 2 Screen Cracking Lawsuit Settled

In a story that shouldn't surprise anyone, Seattle's Tech Flash is reporting that Amazon has agreed to refund anyone who paid $200 to replace a Kindle that cracked with a Kindle cover (the one with the metal latch) installed, as well as replace the covers themselves. In addition, they will reach out to anyone who owns such a combination to notify them of their rights under the proposed settlement.

The only surprise here is the terms of payment to the attorney's: $50,000 - a number that actually seems reasonable rather than egregious!
