Resurrecting an old Kindle

Last month I mentioned my old Kindle 3 Keyboard. I am reluctant to replace it because it is just about right for me just as it is; I am leery of subsequent improvements. Unfortunately it finally lost the ability to accumulate charge so I ordered a cheap battery from China and installed it last week. It charged rather hesistantly at first but patience bore the fruit of my Kindle seeming to have returned to normal. Prying the back off involved drawing inspiration from having observed others who apply rather more force than I ordinarily dare; it worked out in the end. Next on my Kindle reading list is some Dickens; I am not much of a fan but thought I should give Great Expectations and Bleak House a try. The Kindle works well for local buses because the seats aren't generous enough to easily accommodate a computer open in one's lap.
