Kindle DX
by Brian May 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hello, Anybody interested in a Kindle DX? - I think it is 2nd generation. It doesn't appear to power on - is stuck on the one image of Ralph Ellison. Have tried replacing the battery, but this hasn't helped. So I have two batteries for it now - probably both are good. Inside it also has a removable 3G card (AnyData DTP-600W) and a mini sim card. Can't help thing this might still be of value despite not turning on, however not sure what to do with it. I think I saw somebody a while back asking for 2nd hand Kindle devices, but I can't remember who that was now. I can't erase the memory - don't think this matters - I didn't read anything confidential, however have disconnected it from my Amazon account.

Ironically despite the recent bolloxing of the LUV email list servers From: addresses, this and several other recent luv-talk emails have started ending up in my google spam folder, despite it being claimed that the changes were because of google spam categorisation.
