I keep things until they break.

I would prefer to fix everything, but nowadays there are a lot of items which cost too much to have repaired.

My car is a 1987 Toyota Camry with 278,000 miles on it.

What I have come to appreciate about my jetBook Lite is the user-replaceable battery. I suspect that for many eBook readers, the battery will be the first thing to go, and it will cost too much to replace it. My jetBook Lite runs on flashlight batteries, so replacement is not a problem. The page turns are instantaneous. I am very happy with the reflective TFT screen. So I wonder, what would be involved with an upgrade?
