That’s had to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Believe me, if I could have one again I would, I just can’t afford it right now.

The other day when I was at CVS waiting to pick up my prescriptions I was sitting in the pharmacy waiting room tucked way in the back beside the pharmacy counter, reading the Twillight series on my Kindle which goes every where with me these days. I thought I heard my name called, so I put my kindle in sleep mode, stood up, peered around the corner only to find out there was another “Jenny” they were talking to. So I sat back down and punched in the two keys that bring the kindle out of sleep mode and the screen freaks out on me. It looked like a broken LCD with thick black lines running horizontally except for 3/4′s inch on top where the screen savor was. The kindle screen isn’t an LCD screen. It’s electronic paper.

So I called the Customer Service number I got from my kindle owners manual. The phone rang about 5 times and to my surprise, a live human being (I think) answered. I told him my problem, he ran me through a few steps like holding down the reset button in the back for 10 seconds. Nothing helped, my screen was still foo-bared.

And just like that, he told me he was overnighting me a new Kindle. Wow! That’s not where the surprises ended, however. When I got home from work I eagerly tore open the amazon box waiting for me on the kitchen counter, shaking with kindle withdrawals. I got it out, plugged it in, went on the amazon site to register my new kindle which took 5 seconds, and HURRAY! It was registered. Since I’m reading the Twillight Series by Stephenie Meyer, they were the first books I downloaded from my book repository on Amazon servers.

Then panic hit. I didn’t want to go through page by page to find where I left off. If you have seen these books, you would know they are quite thick. So I opened the first book fully prepared to go page by page hundred’s of times. With my jaw on the floor, the book opened right to the page I left off. I didn’t realize that the kindle sync’d my bookmarks too! Way too cool.

I love my Kindle.
