Thanks @Dr. Drib that is a great youtube link. And yes, time to upgrade. When I looked a few weeks ago for new Kindles, Amazon was out of stock of every kindle model and looks like they are still out of stock as I checked again just now. Only some reconditioned models are available.
Though with a single connector it might be less likely it is a connector problem, or else the entire screen should be black? Anyway no harm in trying.
I won't try immediately though as I'll wait until I get my new Kindle. Even though the screen is unusable, I can still purchase books and deliver them to the Kindle which I can sync into Calibre. I am not aware if that is possible off an iPad or off a pc.
"State of the art"- Kindle or other? I suppose I'll stick with a Kindle though as that is where I have purchased my ebooks for the last decade. (yep, keeping myself locked into the amazon environment)
Thanks.
