I took a nasty spill at work today - stepped off the curb in the parking lot wrong and fell headlong onto the pavement. Lots of nasty scrapes and bruises, but the worst of it was that my PRS-505, which was in my purse, would not turn on afterward. The power switch is loose and doesn't spring back like it's supposed to.

Got home and hooked it up to the computer, which powered it up, and the screen is, thank the Lord, not damaged at all. So I set it to never go to sleep and will just keep it charged up and on all the time.

I was almost in tears over it - it's amazing how attached to this thing I've gotten in the 5 months I've had it.
