Yes, and though I managed to recover my wifi to a usable state, I went ahead and bought a cheap Android tablet. Now I can read Amazon, Nook, and Kobo books as well as Google and other sources (Smashwords, Gutenberg, etc.) all on the same device.
I imagine this would defeat the intentions of anyone who deliberately sabotages the older device hoping you'll buy a new one from the same bookseller.
