This third Kindle, I got used for only $10, so I'm not losing very much, but I only had it since last year. Fortunately, when I get another one, I can re-download all my purchased Kindle titles that I had on the third one. However, I'll have to place holds again on all of the library's OverDrive titles that I want to get again. I was about 65% through Robert Galbraith's* Lethal White.
