WAHHHHH! I broke my PB360. WAAAA!

I feel like I want to be a two year old and throw a tantrum.

My PB360 fell out of my pocket while I was reaching for something else. Landed on a corner at an angle that popped off the cover. When I got home, the buttons didn't work, and I noticed one corner of the device was getting quite hot. Reset, took out battery and replaced, etc. After having the battery out several minutes, I could get the light to come on in a slow blink for several seconds, but nothing changed the screen, and the hot spot re-occurred. I've got the battery out now, so that I don't have any chance of a meltdown or such. Seems like I at least broke the screen controller if not the screen itself, and probably another short circuit inside somewhere. I think it's toast.

I almost bought that one DrDrib was selling last month, but stalled too long. Now I don't have one. Sniff.

I like the way the pb360 fits in my hands, which is at least as important as the particular screen, and the firmware it ran was nice too.

Seems strange to be sad about needing to go back to a larger reader.
