It has come as a bit of shock at how short an ereader's life is, not least finding out how much I am missing my Kindle!

Thank you all for answering, must admit you've restored my faith.
Get a new Kindle. I have the K4 ($79) and love it. I got it on sale at Walmart for $49 (Apr 12). It's now my primary reader and my K3 (Apr 11) is now doing backup duty.

A new Kindle means a one year warranty and many credit cards will double your warranty up to one additional year. Both of my Kindles have two year warranties at no additional cost to me.
