Keyboard kindle had died <<sob>>

[simpson]

It was fine last night, and when I looked at it this morning the screen has gone all funny with thick black lines in it. I have re-booted it several times but no change

It is actually 4.6 yrs old so I guess it has done quite well really.

So I guess I am going to bite the bullet and purchase another one

I spoke to customer services and the best they have offered is a refurbished one for £45 (the cheapest version).

So which one do I go for? I don't want one where the screen lights up too much (fire?) as it hurts my eyes (have kindle app on iPad).

I've got the Kindle Paperwhite. The screen does light up, but you can control the brightness so I have it really, really low. It is a lot different to reading on the Kindle App on the iPad.

I have the Kindle Keyboard too, with a lighted case. At first it was strange having the light in the screen but I prefer it now.

I have been using the kindle app this eve as I was half way through a book but its horrid as the iPad is so heavy

The paper white one does look good its just £££ as I want 3G.

Is it the same size as the keyboard one? Just wondering if I have to get a new cover.
