The Kindle display…dead after two days
(Credit: Matt Asay)
I was planning to write about how much I’m loving the Amazon Kindle. I got one to try to consolidate some of the weight and clutter I routinely carry with me on trips in the form of books/magazines/newspapers, and spent several hours on my Cincinnati to London flight totally loving the device.
The wireless connectivity and other technological features of the Kindle are nice, but that’s not where it shines, in my view. No, it’s the feel of the Kindle that’s astounding. I read for hours, surprised by how well it rested in my hands and by the exceptional display.
Well, the display was “exceptional” until it stopped working. I got to my hotel an hour ago and, since I couldn’t yet check in, decided to open up the Kindle to read. Despite having used it just two hours ago on the train into London, and having done totally nothing that could have physically impacted the screen (Rode in a taxi? Checked in at my hotel? The Kindle was safely protected in my bag all the while…), the screen is apparently dead.
