My dad, partner, and I all have our own Kindles on my Amazon account. Over the past decade I’ve had them break a few times out of warranty. What I do is chat with support online and explain the issue. They may offer you a coupon to replace it at a discount. Decline and tell them not to worry about it, you’ll just toss it in the trash. I think this has gotten a free replacement Kindle on 2 of 3 times that I’ve tried it.
