My elektronikz are b ded

The laptop has been on the way out forever, it seems like.   My poor little green iPod mini has certainly seen better days, and lately has not been working quite right at times.  And then last night, my Kindle died on me.  Completely, totally un-responsive dead.  Not responding to reboot protocol (which has been successfully performed before) dead.  USB cable port breaking off dead.  Flickering screen dead (this was before the complete lack of response). 

So, I put an actual paperback in my bag this morning, along with the iPod that says I have no battery life left, then plays for three hours, and brought my Kindle to work stuck back inside its original packaging.  I was hoping that there would be handy 'If it breaks you do X' instructions on Amazon.  I found the return instructions, but had to e-mail Amazon for repair/exchange instructions.  I'll keep everyone posted on how it turns out.

Also, FYI, today is one of those days where I hate being female.
