Amazon Kindle FAIL: This is precisely what I was afraid of

Argh! This is exactly the kind of thing I feared with the Amazon Kindle. Yes, it's convenient. Yes, if you're a heavy traveler and an equally heavy reader, it's probably indispensable.

But what the hell do you do when the screen fails?

Notice the discolored band near the top of the 'digital ink'-based screen. That appeared this morning as a permanent reminder that a bunch of finicky electrons hold the keys to a dozen of my books.

I guess I won't be getting rid of these anytime soon.

And I hear that when the SHTF, they'll be worth some serious coin.

At the rate these Democrats are spending, we don't have long to wait.
