The more immediate problem of "not trusting technology again" is devising a way of getting yourself home without trusting technology

I would have liked to last night, but I'm afraid that it was too warm - it was 22 degrees in this room and I only heat it to 19 degrees in the winter!

You will definitely like the Amazon Paperwhite.
Even easier to use and read than the original Kindle.
Completely different from a tablet.

It's a bit irritating that you have to pay an extra tenner for the version without "special offers". Be money well spent I can't stand adverts. Thanks though. I think I'm going to buy one.
I hope the touch screen has improved. My ex wife had the first touch screen 4th Gen one. I had the one with buttons. It was way better with buttons. The touch screen was pants. I'm sure it has though. It really had to..

We have two here and they have always survived our various travel trips. Maybe pack it a bit safer or buy a padded case for it? Or both!
Both of ours are Paperwhites and the lighting on them is very good - much better than the old bottom of the screen glow lights.
New Paperwrite out now and it is waterproof to 2m.
Touch screen works brilliantly.
As an aside I'm not sure why some people confuse Kindle screens with computer screens - totally different technology with the Kindle screen looking just like a piece of paper and with zero eye strain. Plus they are easy to read on the brightest of days.

It was in a padded case. And in my hand luggage. I don't recall it taking any impact at all. It's pretty old though. I like fixing things. I'm sure I could repair this quite easily. The screen isn't cracked or anything. Just failed. I think I'll just buy the new one. I can't complain how long it has lasted and the countries it has been to. I think I'll always bring a paperback or two now though.
Waterproof sounds good to read in the bath etc. Thanks for the advice..
