Hi Jan, mine had not been fired up for a couple of years either!
And I was just coming to post that I actually found my stylus in the back of a drawer,TBTG, but thank you so much for bothering to reply and for the offer!
Any plans on charging yours up to see if they go? I must admit, I'm now so used to front-lit readers that the e-ink screen on the PE seems startlingly dark. But what a great idea these hybrids were! If there was an updated version with a lighted e-ink screen and a decent price I know I wouldn't be able to resist.
Again!
