If you end up needing to get a replacement, don't forget that
there are invariably Black Friday deals on Kindles


Also, don't forget that there is a market for these - there are whose
who take great pleasure (and perhaps a little income) from repairing them.

In the last year I have sold an old PaperWhite Kindle with a broken
screen for £40 (a new one could be had for £100), and a 10 year old
TomTom with a dead internal storage for £60... Both on eBay, and both
were purchased by people with East European-sounding names. Both, for
some reason emailed me within a few weeks to let me know that they had
managed to fix them...
