Having decided my Kindle really was as dead as a doornail we went into Sligo yesterday to PC World...handed both the Kindle and all receipts etc over to the girl behind the desk and said I think it's dead...
She trotted off...came back a minute later with a brand new updated Kindle...touch-screen and other goodies...handed it over and smiled happily.
I said thank you ever so much and headed for the door with Himself aghast at me not having paid...he never believes a word I say and he didn't believe me when I told him there'd been an offer on when I bought the original Kindle...if it stops working bring it in and we'll replace it...
So that's what they did.
