Kindle reliability
I hope the new Kindle is more reliable than our K3s have been. My wife and I both purchased K3s last fall because they would be much more convenient to carry on trips than a bag of books. We love our Kindles, but they did not turn out to be reliable. Last spring we traveled to Britain, the screen on mine froze in the middle of the trip and I was denied the use of it for the rest of the trip. This fall we traveled again to Europe. My wife's Kindle screen froze on the flight over and she did not have the use of it for the 26 days she was there. Upon our return Amazon immediately replaced our Kindles and even gave my wife a token (their word) $20 credit on her account, but the warranties were not extended, so soon if these fail we will have to replace our Kindles at our expense.
Can we expect our "new" Kindles to last as long as our former ones? or is our experience atypical?
