Do you have a Kindle?

Did you know that I lost my Kindle 3G last December? *sniffs*
Yeah. I did. =( I was on my way home, riding a van. I stopped reading (because the motion was giving me a headache) so I put my Kindle on my lap. It must’ve slipped and dropped on the van’s floor when I fell asleep. I only realized my Kindle’s missing the day after. I did not find it anywhere near Temple (the iPad), because they usually on top of each other when both are inside my laptop bag. *sad, sad sigh*

I cried once during that night. I went hiatus on blogging and reading. I had my Kindle for two years and I just felt I got more than I paid for it. Imagine all the good times I had with him..! But I picked myself up in three days.

While I did not go shopping for a new bag, I braved the Amazon site… and bought another Kindle. Thank goodness I have money that time. And I bought the exact model and color. 😀 Well, I still have two leather covers (one with a light). It seemed like a waste to buy another model, then buying a new cover for the newer model. Besides, I thought Kindle 3G (or Keyboard) is sturdier than the new Kindle models released.

Meet and Greet Ilium II!

I decided to retain Ilium as the name of my Kindle. But since it’s my second one, I call him Ilium II. 😀 I’m using my green leather cover again, so in my mind, I did not lose my Kindle (I’m crazy, I know). It lessens the hurt, somehow. So I am a happy camper again!

To my bookish friends who offered their heartfelt consolation (Haha) when I was grieving, Thank You. Only you guys can understand what I went through. Thinking about it, I lost a hundred of ebooks, right? Yeah, yeah. I hear ya. But really, thanks!

So what’s my reaction when I finally had my hands on Ilium II? I felt like doing this.
