Ha. I think the dance party is over. Well, at least for now. Maybe when I start using the new features, the party will resume!



Thanks hon! I'm absolutely thrilled! And seriously, what a nice guy he was! I thanked him for his understanding and patience. I'm just SO happy to finally have a good one. I feel I should be carrying it around in metal safety box! LOL.
Congrats. Perseverance paid off. 😊

Eeewww!!!! I can just imagine that about once every week when it gets turned on the user will see a notification saying "You have more updates available than you can effing imagine!" I hate that about my Windows 7 laptop. About once a week it finds 20 to 30 updates to install, takes forever to DL and install them, and then just after it finishes and restarts it finds another 10 to install.

Maybe I'll upgrade to the KPW2 myself... somewhere next year. Upgrading now after only reading 25 books on the KPW1 is unresponsible.

How many would make upgrading a responsible choice?

125 or so, or when a bigger improvement than the KPW2 comes along.

By upgrading after reading only 25 books, I'd be adding €5 to each book I've bought for the KPW1...

You could sell your PW1 for a decent amount to help defray the expense of a PW2.

I don't want to. The KPW1 is not perfect, but I still like it, even though I have to work around some stuff, such as embedding fonts into ebooks.

Captain Kirk said this in one of the Star Trek movies, or maybe in one of the games: "It doesn't matter if the ship you're flying is a hundred years old. It can still be better than the newest ones, because all the quirks and problems are well-known." (Or something to that effect.)

I'll keep it, even if I get another reader later.

The Kindle trade in program is only available in the US, but there is this thing called eBay that is available globally.
