kindle broke yesterday not sure how to break it to my mom.
12/f
im a book addict, literally.
ok so i got a kindle last year on my b-day and it broke, because i had it on my bookshelf with it tilting so it would not fall. well, i had put my 8-ball (like the one used for pool) next to it and i think i either moved it the slidest bit or shoke the bookshelf and it fell and landed on my 8-ball, and i heard a crack and checked it, it was un damaged.
since i had it of my bookshelf i figured i would read it well when turned it on it showed the cracks and i freaked out.
im just wondering how to break it to her because if i tell her the screen broke she would blame it all on me. if i tell her the truth she wont beleive me.
any advise will be very thankful!!

I've found Amazon to be an absolutely fantastic company to deal with. It seems like a long-shot, but you have nothing to lose...
Email or call their customer service and explain the situation. If you're lucky, they may do something for you. Replace it, discount on new one... who knows.
First, though, please make sure to back up all your books and do it right away!
Good luck with this, I hope that it works out for you.

There is an old saying; "the truth will set you free." If you lie to mom then you better write it down for you will forget what you told her and probably tell her something different if she asks about it again. This is where the problem with lying comes in, we parents never forget.
The kindle may be reparable and may be repairable under warranty if it is under a year old. I suggest tell mom the truth as you wrote to us. It fell over on the 8-ball and your not sure why or how. You thought it was on the shelf safely.
It is very possible someone running through the house or a truck driving by made just enough of a vibration to cause the Kindel to fall over. These things happen.
I can't say mom won't get upset. I can't say mom will not think you were irresponsible, but you know the truth. I can't say mom many not even punish you. If she does it may just be wrong of her to do so. In your favor though is that you have told her the truth and if she ever asks you again you will be able to tell her again almost word for word what had happened. It will be then that mom realizes that you were truthful with her and if she is anything like most of us parents she will make it up to you in the future.
