A long, sad story, but I just bricked my 2012 Kindle Paperwhite during an attempted battery change. A big battery icon appeared on the screen when I pulled the old battery and became a blank "band" across the screen after I installed the new one and charged it Nothing removes the band.

I'm now shopping for a new device. I don't know if I want another Paperwhite or a tablet and would like any advice you may have.

I used my PW for a lot of personal documents. I would highlight text and add a note, then connect the PW to my computer and open the .txt file "My CLippings.txt" and then copy the noted text to a Word.docx as a kind of book report. I would then email to my Kindle and have to available on my PW. Can I do the same with a tablet?

Do iPads have a Kindle Documents folder like the PW once you install the Kindle App? Can I move unprotected eBooks into it via USB.

I'm struggling here. I had all of my operations down pat with the Paperwhite, but hated the experimental browser and don't want to just jump into buying another one.

Thanks for any replies!
