Ha!
Hm, I wonder how old my paperwhite is now...I have managed to lose all the charging cables with the right connector (for values of "lose" = "they aren't right next to where I currently have my kindle sitting or where I thought I was keeping them") so I haven't charged it up in a bit, not sure if it actually works...
I have two paperwhites—one is very old and I had lost it at a friend’s house for several months and bought a new one (also because the new one was waterproof). The other day I couldn’t find the new one so was like crap and charged up the old one…finally figured out why I thought I’d read this one book but didn’t remember anything about it—I was like 25% in on the old one and never finished it!
New Penric also out this week. The Adventure of the Demonic Ox (Searching for ”Penric and” didn’t find it!) Rich pickins.
Demonic Ox is still not on Kobo, however. Just checked. I gather it will be there (as well as B&N, Apple, and Google, but that can take up to a week, per her blog on Goodreads).
