Taking care of your Kobo ebook readers [Seriously not-serious! For Advanced Users] - Page 3

Rats! Foiled again... Now I need a better brand name.

I'd already decided to market a do-it-yourself kit composed of string licorice available in multiple colors/flavors and vinyl adhesive arrow stickers to be applied to the Kobo to aid in the winding process... with a sugar glaze to bind the licorice together.

The followup product will likely be the surgical scissors and pattern so the user can remove the licorice covering the actual screen. I see this selling for a lot more than the initial kit!

Dogonnit! Don't you just hate it when you sit on your Kobo reader and then hear the scrunching sound of breaking glass?

Not to Worry!

Simply get your vacuum cleaner and follow these simple steps:

1) Remove the dirty bag and put in a clean one.
2) Turn on your vacuum cleaner.
3) Suck up all the broken glass that is still on your leather couch.
4) Remove the cat before doing step #2.
5) Pay the late fee on your utility bill before doing step #2.
6) Make certain no broken glass is still adhering to your underwear.
7) Turn off your vacuum cleaner and carefully deposit all the glass on a workbench.
8) Put all the pieces of glass together, using Super Glue (or a similar product).
9) After everything dries - in one second - carefully glue the glass back in place on your Kobo.

That's it! Now you're done!

While it's understandable that a few stray cat hairs may also have been glued to your ebook reader, a simple spray of Nair will remove most hair, leaving your Kobo slick, shiny and wet. But most importantly: No more cat hair!

Remember, this entire process should only be done while fully dressed, especially when handling Super Glue.
