The bane of my existence ebook reader may have actually died

[kestrell]

When I went to use it last night, it had been charging for a couple of hours and it was uncomfortably hot. It cooled down after I removed it from the power adapter, and seemed to work fine. After a couple of hours of using it, I realized that it hadn't crashed in two or three days.

And that's about the time it stopped playing.

I pressed the play button, and it read. A sentence. And stopped.

And that's what it did for the est of the night, until I got frustrated and powered it off.

This morning it refuses to play at all.

And thus ends the less than a month long existence of a five hundred dollar piece of assistive tech, may it rest in book Hell.

What do you think book Hell is like? Personally, I think it is filled with an infinite number of copies of The Da Vinci Code in every format. And that's the only book on the shelves. And there are a couple of demons who never turn off the ringers on their phones, and the ring tones are all versions of Bon Jovi songs.

...the mold, mildew, and literal bookworms.

May it rot forever and a curse on its progenitors.

But wait--it's not dead yet! It's feeling better...So after a few hours, I tried turning it on again, and this time it worked, and it continued to work last night.

Ooooo, now I'm picturing the book Hell demons as being tiny bookworms with tiny cell phones...and cigarettes, which not only smell nasty but keep coming daaaaaaangeroulsy close to lighting books on fire.

Alas.

I would've thought Fifty Shades and then a perky Disney theme (maybe Small World?), but either way. You know it's gonna be bad.

I was actually going to suggest that book Hell's theme song would be "Small World," but, personally, I fin Jon Bon Jovi's voice more irritating than anything Disney has created. the
