Since your shopping at the company which is known as Newark in the USA, I try searching there.
But of course, I don't know if I will find it.
I did find it (Newark/Farnell/Element14 carries it) but even in the smallest quantity it is very expensive (more than the Kindle).
Instead, try my DIY conductive ink thread - a small amount of powdered graphite mixed into Black Acrylic Ink (or artists paint).

3) Yes, that is the wire I described.
Ignore the picture of a multi-conductor wire, the 28 and 30 gage wire is single conductor, which is just what you need.
Silver plated copper - very easy to make connections.
