So had you left it lying around on the floor or were you standing on the table?

it was on the floor because i was sleeping the spare room last night* and there is only a bed and the floor in there; nowhere else to put it.

* mrs chewy is ill with a horrid cough which has kept me awake for 2 nights running and i needed some sleep, i have not been banished. so i got some sleep but it cost me £89.99!

Ummm...'mrs chewy'??? Careful chewy, sounds like you are losing some commitment phobia. Next thing you know you'll be on one knee in the Cosy with a ring and the kit from the love room begging for a hand in marriage......

I knew mrs chewy was to blame!

But seriously, that sucks...
I suppose all your past purchases are somewhere stored in the amazon 'cloud' ?

i don't think that even i could find a way to blame her for this one, although i could try telling her that in her feverish hallucinogenic state she walked into the spare room and stuck it under my foot as i was stepping backwards. i'll give it a try and let you know how i get on.

i think you can just re-download all of your past purchases onto your new kindle once you have registered it with your amazon account.

to be fair there aren't that many of them because i have only had it for three weeks. i'm not normally one for smileys but:

My brother had an offer accepted on a house about 5 weeks ago. Has had survey done, got mortgage arranged etc etc. Was told today that the sellers are pulling out as they can't get the mortgage they want :mad:

Is the screen glass or plastic? always wanted to know, and does it make dangerous shards/splinters? Thanks for carrying out the experiment, and do please share the results around for maximum benefit.

BTW, I've had my Kindle for a year or so, and I haven't paid anything for ebooks. http://www.ereaderiq.co.uk/free/
Project Gutenberg, etc etc etc etc

Also, do you have Calibre installed?

Mrs. Wheezy got her Kindle last Christmas and she's really happy with it, she hasn't purchased much either.
Mostly free stuff, sometimes a Kindle deal of the day for 99p.

I must not forget to tell her not to stand on it though.

What is Calibre?
