*bang*...Oh no not again.........

Deja Vu, that sense of been here before.... yep, and in fact I had, and not so long ago.... This morning, post dog walk and before showering I was merrily reading on the Kindle whilst I tried to thin the amount of blood in my caffeine stream, then I switched off the device and stowed it in the handbag for later.  On getting to work with 10 minutes to spare before I have to look like I am actually working I thought to myself, ooh good, I can finish that chapter... so I fished out the Kindle, switched the on switch and....... half of the screen saver froze across the screen....

Queue frantic soft booting, hard booting, glaring at it as though it's got some sort of personal grudge against me... tweeting about it and then phoning up the help desk.  Well after being accused of dropping it, or getting it wet, they declared that this Kindle is in fact dead.

I am beginning to think this can only happen to me... I thought 5 weeks of ownership before death was some sort of record with the last one.... but this didn't even get to 4 weeks of ownership....(one friend did suggest that it died of shock from the amount of smut that I put on it... but I know I am not the only one who has this level of smut and their Kindle's don't die!)

A replacement is on it's way to me and should be here by Saturday.....I wonder how long this one will last.... I think I might knit it a cover to keep it warm and cosy and persuade it that I luffs it really so that it will stay with me a bit longer.....

Or am I just doomed to add Kindles to the list of things that can only cope with me for a few weeks before going bang... like the kettle, and the microwave... and the hair dryer....
