Obituary for kindle 3

covfam · 06-03-2011, 09:42 AM

Kindle, the Third, was hardworking; johnny-on-the-spot throughout his life, always there when his owner needed him. At the train station, Kindle alleviated boredom; when the power was out and Mighty Computer was unresponsive, lo and behold, Kindle jumped into the fray and entertained his owner. When his owner went clothes shopping with his wife, Kindle, without a regard for his safety, jumped into the breach and saved his owner from certain insanity.

But the day came that Kindle was defeated, and the spark of energy flickered...and died.

Goodbye, dear Kindle, you have left a mark on my life and I shall always remember your selfless acts of courage under fire.

Wow, you didn't have it very long.

Alas Poor Kindle, I feel like I knew him covfam.

I am on my third Kindle 3 (thankfully replaced under warranty by Amazon). Screens packed in on the first two.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your lovely eulogy reminded me that I need to show more appreciation for my Kindle.

Not sure it was love, could possibly have been Murder, or at least abuse and neglect, or perhaps just indifference.....

Will you be adopting a new one soon?

Wow, you two are harsh.

I can assure you that as covfam goes through the five stages of grief, all of this will occur to them.

We need an autopsy, stat.

Do not forget the 21-page-turn salute.
