missroseroseI cannot, for the life of me, find my Kindle.
Given that I last remember using it here at home, and that I haven't seen any strange "Your Amazon Purchase of {probably porn}" emails, I sincerely doubt that I left it somewhere. More likely, in a frenzy of cleaning, I put it away somewhere safe...so safe, in fact, that I can't figure out where, even after a good week of searching. (I've also asked around at work, the other place I most commonly use it - the bright pink cover would make it stand out. But, alas, no luck.)
On the one hand, this is hardly an emergency situation. I have no shortage of paper books to read, after all, and my entire Kindle library is accessible via my phone and computer both. But on the other...I miss it far more than seems appropriate. It's super convenient for reading in the bath or at work, and I maintain that reading off an e-ink screen is much more pleasant for my eyes than a backlit LCD.
And gosh, wouldn't you know it...Amazon has a new model out, one that's moderately but perceptibly superior to my version in every way. Not enough to justify an upgrade, certainly, but if I'm having to replace it anyway...
I will mull for another week or two, I think. It's been a good few weeks, work-wise, and I've stumbled into yet another occasional fill-in job at another chiropractic office. But it's not like I don't have plenty of other things I should be saving for (like, y'know, a house), and some part of me is just convinced that if I order one, two days after it arrives I'll find my old one. I suppose I could pass it on to a friend; I have a few who're interested but have yet to jump onto the e-reader bandwagon. Although I suspect relatively few of them would've chosen a bright pink case. :)
