I bought 2 kindle 1s 13 months ago, and absolutely loved them. But I left one on the train, and the 2d looks like it died after airport screening in the Bahamas. It appears the screen was damaged.

So what do I do now? I bought a pbook (horrors!) to read on the flight home. I was set to order a kindle 2, and I thought-should I? Or should I take all the knowledge I have accumulated from MR, and the fact that I have all my books on Calibre, and buy something else? I don't mind not being able to get books wirelessly. Or, should I just wait? I have enough pbooks to last me until the cows come home. Surely, there will be a new ereader coming out by then.

What would you do?
