this is a good enough story, I've told it before here, but worth another telling... last January I had a knee replacement which requires a 3 day stay. my Kindle was an inseparable part of the whole deal. I managed to to acquire about 8 pillows which is a LOT of pillows in a hospital bed. quite often I would nod off with the kindle in my hand and it would disappear somewhere into the bedding. one early morning at about 3 a.m., I was frantically searching through the pillows all while connected to my IV and the ice machine keeping my knee cold. I'm sure I was quite the site. a technician came in to check vitals that I had not seen before and after her surprised; "Darlin' what on earth are you doin'!?" (she was very southern), I told her; "I've lost my kindle somewhere in the bed and I need to have it to go to sleep!" she blinked at me a couple of times and said; "You've lost your Ken Doll!?
