Old Kindle Out, New Kindle In

A looooooooong time ago, back in 2010, I bought a Kindle Keyboard and I loved it.

I loved it so much that 2 years later, I set it on the armrest of the couch and it fell off, leaving an ugly mark in the middle of the screen that would not go away no matter what I did.

And then I remembered that I had bought a 2 year protection plan for it! The accident happened in October of 2012 making it just inside the 2 year limit on the plan.

I'm not usually one to buy the protection plans for things so that, in and of itself, was odd, but I am so thankful that I did! I dialed up the Target protection plan hotline and they immediately said that they would issue me a -get this- FULL REFUND. This Kindle was 2 years old and I was getting back every cent that I paid for it which ended up being $190 for a Kindle that is currently going for only $90.

Are you thinking big upgrade? Because I sure did!

And here is my new Kindle Paperwhite...well sorta new...I received it back in December...blog slacking much?

I have been so happy with this new Kindle. The best upgrade is that it has side lighting so that you can still read it in the sunlight without any nasty glares like you would get with backlit electronics. I also like the fact that it is completely touch screen. It is smaller than my previous Kindle so the accessories I had for that one didn't fit on this one, but that just gave me a good excuse to buy a new cover. :)

I picked this one up for a great price at TJ Maxx...anyone else love that store?

Now if I could just find more time to read....

and blog...

and sew....

and play....

and relax....
