$30 beats the cost of fixing the broken screen.

I've tested the embedded videos whilst logged out of both this forum and YouTube, and they play fine on multiple computers and tablets. You maybe have an error your end.

Please don't tell me you're watching the videos on... an e-ink screen?

If USB transfer works for AZW3 from any of my current Kindles then I'm still good to go. Thanks for all the help! I love this place.

I have had the download issue before. What worked for me is to delete the wifi connection then redo it. If that doesn't work, try connecting to someone else's wifi. And as a final solution but you lose all your books (which in your case doesn't seem to matter anyway) is to do a factory reset. Might just get back the 4g.

I have a kindle that is on its last legs. It got stuck in power up. I read somewhere to do the 40 second restart (holding the power button for 40 seconds) repeatedly will fix the problem. I think I did it 6 or 7 times. Wah lah. Kindle's been working perfectly fine since. I only sideload with it now though - the wifi stopped working some time ago.

Don't beat yourself up about getting the 3G (not 4G). It was only about $20 more. On more recent units, it's $70-90 more. If I didn't have wifi at home, then I probably would have used the feature more, but ultimately, I only used it when I was doing caregiving for a late relative who lived in a rural area. Thus, I didn't bother to get it on my Voyage.

If you need to do a factory reset and the wifi still doesn't work, just go to Amazon. You can download the system updates and install yourself. Worked pretty slick.
