Another update ...
I got back from the shops this morning, and waiting on the doormat was a brand new Kindle.
As others have so often said, Amazon's customer service is exceptional. Despite the fact that my previous Kindle was three years old, they were happy to replace it. What's more, it was Amazon UK that replaced it, even though I bought the original one from Amazon in the US.
I must say it's very nice to have an up-to-date model, with many of the features that I hear folk in this forum discuss but which were unavailable to me (not the least of which is a wireless connection, which I had never had in the UK because it was a US-only device).
My only (very minor) regret is that my old cover doesn't fit the new model. But that's a small inconvenience, all things considered.
Mike
