Just thought I would share with you my kindle. It went everywhere with me for a little over two years.
I know, I am being silly. We all have our little quirks, here is one of mine.
Besides, it is kind of interesting to see a Second Generation Kindle disassembled. I let my teenage son have fun with it. He is kind of a techy geek. He confirmed that it is beyond hope. So, it's off to Electronic Wasteland. Anyone know of a safe or environmentally friendly way to dispose of it?
ooo so sad for you - see another reason why paperbacks are better. You can drop them and they don't break. and less expensive to replace

True, but it's also easier to pack a kindle for a trip than several paperbacks. ;) Honestly, I prefer a printed book. i use the kindle for many of my review books or if I want a book for less and not pay for shipping.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for inexpensive books, try abebooks.com. Seriously. Most titles are about $3.95 including shipping!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sad site! I keep my Kindle and Nook is protective binders, but I'm always scared something will happen to them. I had a horrible time handing my NookColor over to my family members so they could play Angry Birds during vacation, and I have no doubt it'll be similar to the first time I hand over my future children to them too!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm so sorry for your kindle... BUT at least now you can have a reason to buy the NEW kindles =)
ReplyDeleteIf you want to get rid of it in a nice and environmental way, I would love to take it from you. I'd use it as an arts and crafts project and put it in our book room... maybe have a template/plague saying "Inky books= 1, Ebook=0" ...lol... or "casualties of ebook revolution" =)

I've actually been giving pieces of it away.. My son took the net card and I gave my neighbor the skin and cases. I had two leather cases, one with a light and a zen blossom type of skin.
ReplyDeletei also purchased the $79.00 version from Amazon. It wasn't the one that I wanted, but it will do just fine. Now, to earn the money to pay for it, the job hunting continues. ;)
