Broke my Kindle
 
Put a remote on top, pushed in the drawer and CRACK right across the screen. Need and love my Kindle, with use of only one hand, can't turn pages in a regular book, so ordered another one from Amazon. Happy Mother's day present I guess.

Oh kicker! That's too bad. I hate it when things like that happen. It's definitely a present you deserve to have.

As you know, I love my kindle. DS bought an iPad, I think he uses it like a kindle but it has more on it. It may even cost less than a kindle. Don't know.

Just talking.:) When does your new kindle arrive?

Did you buy the warranty for the new one?

Buy a cover to keep it in. I have one made by a company called JAVOedge (actually have two covers, won the second one in an online contest last month) I keep mine in the cover all the time. Keeps it from getting dirty and keeps things from getting poked into the screen when I'm not using it.

links to pictures of my Kindle in one of it's JAVOedge covers.

Kindle costs $259. iPad costs over $600 depending on how many GB's of memory you want in it.

The new Kindle arrives Thursday, They have all the info on every book I ever ordered and will put them on my new Kindle. No one has to pay for this. Purchased my first Kindle with gift cards from Credit card points I saved up. This is first time I actually have to pay money for Kindle. All books I get, I buy with gift cards from Card rewards. I charged the dentist for 3 of us so look forward to more rewards. I need my Kindle, didn't hesitate to order one for a second.

OK, I know this is almost a threadjacking, but I have to know...How does one accidently slam their head in a sliding door?:eek:
Kicker, I'm glad you're getting a new Kindle. Maybe an insurance policy for it wouldn't be a bad idea?:winky:
