Hello folks,
I've just dropped my Glo HD less than two feet onto concrete and now the screen is broken. It was in a hard case and as far as I can tell landed with the screen facing upwards, but it's still broken.
I am now enraged because
- How could it possibly not survive such a short drop inside a hard case
- Buying another Glo HD would somehow barely cost any less than I paid when it was new
- They don't make them anymore and the Clara HD costs more despite being almost exactly the same
- The summer is almost over and I just wanted to read my books
I see it is possible to buy a replacement screen on Aliexpress for $40ish. Is this actually worth doing or would it be a false economy? Is the replacement difficult/risky to do? I bet it is.
If it's not worth replacing the screen, what other options are there? I'm very reluctant to buy another Kobo product now. Are there any more obscure manufacturers that make something similar?
My only requirements are that it has the same screen, can transfer books via Calibre and can display epub and cbr/cbz files. I don't care about wifi, frontlight, online store or anything else.
Is a faux Glo the way to go? Can anybody end my Kobo woe?
