So do I. I'm actually in Reader withdrawal. But they called my wife today, so I'm expecting a return box tomorrow or Wednesday.

Actually, I think that's what they're going to do. When they spoke with my wife today, the person pointed out that a screen replace would cost more than purchasing a new unit. Then my wife pointed out that we bought the accidental damage extended warranty. So I'm assuming that I'll get a new unit.

Tip, though: They told me that the 2 year ADH warranty would be fulfilled on this repair, and that I'd have to purchase a new one for the new unity if/when it arrives.

And I never store anything embarrassing on my unit's memory. That's what SD cards are for.

There's an idea. I wonder if the person who gets my old unit as a refurb will find them all there waiting...

More like a Poseidon Adventure Reader, especially the scene in the original when the guy goes through the glass light panel... I still need to take a pic to post it.....
