So it may be you're actually spending more than you were even though the average price is cheaper.

Like you, kindle revived my reading. Tired eyes meant that I was reading in bed, getting tied easily and falling asleep after 20 minutes. The crisp flatness of the kindle screen means I don't get fatigued reading off it.

I found the same thing with kindle customer support. I had a "stuck pixel". They not only replaced it, they sent me a new one immediately with just my word for it and gave me a month to return the old one. A great service, I had a new one, like you, the next morning even though my old one was still very usable.
