Need advice and support :(
This evening I found my used K4NT's screen broken. I'm really shocked because I was keeping it in a book-styled fake-leather case and a EVA hard one when not using it. It did not fall.
![]() ![]() When I received it, last year, I jailbroke it and was happily reading epubs etc since then. But some days ago it started freezing and I had to re-start. It happened 2-3 times (when on Librerator or reading a mobi) and now... ![]() ![]() Has it happened to anyone here? ![]() Can't really decide what to do: going for the Icarus Illumina or buying another used one.. Or even trying to replace the screen (-> is it a really difficult task?) -____- The only thing I care about are the page-turning soft keys or buttuns. Never broke a pc or a smartphone, but this is the second ereader that I found broken - the first one was my boyfriend's K2 which I mistreated... -___- I'm sooooo depressed -___-" |

Sorry to hear that.
Contact Amazon first. They are known to sometimes give generous discounts on a new Kindle if you report a broken one, even when long out of warranty. It's worth a try. |

Are you sure? O.O I don't believe it. Many thanks for your reply!
In the mean time I searched eBay and other websites for used things and found: - brand new (but old) Onda Communication MyTile 0B600KT, an old e-book reader with a 6" eink screen (and 16 greyscale levels), Wi-Fi, SD SIM card and jack audio slots for 25€ shipped It can easily read epub, mobi, PDF. The device is slow and I don't think the battery will last too much, but screen quality seems the same as the Kindle Keyboard and I think I can use it as my reader-to-go for when I sleep to my bf's. I've just found it's an Hanlin V60 but no touchscreen (and that's great!); - used Kindle 4 NT black (arrived today and already jailbroken ); ..and I'm considering buying a used Trekstor Pyrus (not mini) :-k I definitely don't want to spend 100€ or more for an Android device, simply because eink screen is sooo fragile :/ Hope this stock will last more than a year XD Last edited by blackcatw81; 03-13-2016 at 09:26 AM. |
