I've had a few Kindle Keyboard 3g's within the last couple years (I think I'm on number 3 right now). Two have had screen issues and one of those also had the fading key issue. My current Kindle now has a screen issue.
Amazon has been really good about replacing them, but I am worried they are going to say "enough is enough" at some point. Maybe now, even though this one is probably still under warranty.
I'm also thinking "maybe enough is enough". It's not like I have money to throw away on stuff like this if it's not going to last long.
So I'm thinking maybe there's better device out there for me. What I like most about the Kindle is the battery life, the speed and especially the e-ink screen. Also liked access to free books from Amazon, and I already have tons of them. Which I won't be able to read on another device.
What I don't like about the Kindle is it's fragility, the fact that I can't change the battery myself - which hasn't been an issue because mine haven't outlived their batteries, the weight increased by having to keep it in a sturdy case for it's protection (which now seems pointless) and not being able to read epubs.
The 3g has probably been less useful than I initially thought it would be because the browser is so slow,so it's not really necessary. I do like the wireless, but even then, I have only used it when I didn't feel like getting up and attaching the Kindle to the computer.
So, I'm asking for advice - what other devices are comparable but better? I would like my reader to last longer than a year!
