A: You cry some. You try really hard not to get angry with yourself. Then you buy another kindle. And you’re super sad because the new kindles are not as cool as the old kindles were. :( (#2 begs to disagree for a wide variety of reasons and features) (#1 notes that they took away features she used to have on her kindle and are charging more for them on a more expensive kindle but they don’t work as well on the more expensive kindle as they did on the original kindle she had. But #2 is probably right for the first gen kindles which, she hears, were kind of slow and buggy. Her stepped upon kindle was at the sweet point of features + speed. :( )
