An Amazon Kindle customer in Seattle has filed suit against Amazon.com, Inc. in U.S. District Court, building a suit for Kindle digital reader owners who spotted cracks in their machines while using the official cover for the device.
The Seattle Times outlined the court filing: “[The suit] said the value of the ‘matter in controversy’ exceeds $5 million. It said the class would include buyers of Kindle 2 and Kindle DX models ‘installed in a Kindle Cover designed by Amazon.'”
