Anybody want to do a straight-up swap? My 6-month old PE for a Kindle Fire, Nook Color, or such?

This is the THIRD TIME I've run into a seemingly fatal glitch (not counting that week that I went without sound) and I'm sick and tired of it!

I had just installed Game Dev Story from the Market (10 cent sale yesterday) and something went wiggy. Now I can't get to ANYTHING, not even via USB, because the processes com.entouragesys.android.reader and com.entouragesys.android.setup keep "stopping unexpectedly," and continue to do so every time I hit "Force Close." I've tried rebooting, hibernating, menu/rotate reflashing Allmine, everything I know to do.

And before somebody gripes at me about "not being content with dingo, etc. etc.," save your breath. I'm not pushing the envelope here. I mostly use my PE for READING, with occasional email and web browsing. I've uninstalled every app I DON'T use, I don't have the thing rooted, I don't overclock.

Is it too much to expect for a device to work for more than a month straight without needing shock therapy or e-prozac?

If I can't recover my library from it this time or FIX the stupid thing, I'm doing a Golden Dingo reflash and selling it. Or giving it so someone I hate.

I wouldn't be so pissed off about the whole thing if it wasn't for the fact that I LOVE my PE when it works.
