Yes, I've already mentioned this several times .. I love my Kindle Fire tablet. I ALWAYS have all 2500 books with me. I can reread any one of them any time .. and I have so many TBR (to be read) books, it's not funny.
Anyway, my Kindle Fire died. Actually, it didn't die die. There was something wrong with the mini USB port so lo and behold, the darn thing couldn't be charged. AT ALL.
How am I supposed to read all the 2500 plus books on my Kindle if the thing cannot be charged?
I scoured the internet to find out why and later that night, my wonderful handy hubby tried to fix it (I found a You Tube video).
I knew he had never used a soldering iron before (neither have I for that matter) but I was willing to risk it. What was the worst that could happen? The thing was as good as dead if I couldn't charge it anyway.
Alas, it was a good effort on his part but it could not be fixed. *sob*
Sooooooooo,
Momma has a NEW Kindle Fire HDX 7" !! I wanted the 64gb one but they were out of stock so I settled for a 32 gb one. No matter .. that is more than enough for thousands of books !!
Woooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!
Ok, I don't actually have it yet. But the guy who bought it for me at my hubby's request will be back in October with it ..
I am so psyched !! Yes, I am a gadget person .. and I love new gadgets ... I loved my Kindle Fire (it was a first generation model) .. and while it still worked perfectly (other than the charging issue) .. I had admittedly been drooling over the newer models recently. LOL.
Until then, I am using my Kindle Paperwhite. I swiped it back from my eldest .. she has exams anyway .. she has no business reading now. LOL.
While I love the slim lightweight Paperwhite .. I hate that it's in black and white (ugh) and the teeny capacity (measely 2 gb .. who can live with that?!! that's like under a 1000 books or so) .. I am happy it has a built in light though, thank goodness. So temporarily, I am without all 2500 plus of mine. But not for long. Hehe.
