The link-maker has not worked for at least 2 weeks, maybe slightly longer.  I don't know if it's an Amazon problem not allowing the connections to be made because of availability of non-digital items, whether Admin has larger problems on their plate because of the world-wide pandemic, or they just don't care about KB as an on-going site.

I think it's option C. 

Yeah ... I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pass this month. I took a look at the one called "Science Fiction", but the blurb reads more like Fantasy. I edited the OP to reflect that.

I think WWII is considered historical now ..... but that's a good question: what's the definition? WWII was before my time, but not my parents.

Thanks for the Bilyeau links, Koi -- both those look good. And one is in Prime so free for me.

The Rosalind Thorn one is already on my wish list ... at $11.99 it's a bit more than I want to spend and it doesn't appear to be in any of my libraries.

I haven't started yet -- got to the top of the queue on a bunch of library books so reading them first.

But I love having something on my kindle that I KNOW I'll enjoy.

Yay!!!

My PW has it .... I think it's the latest generation -- the one with the flush screen. I've noticed not change in operation or functions so far.

FWIW .... when I saw this post this morning -- tacked on to an 8 year old thread -- I figured it was trolling with en eye to eventually putting some spammy link in the post .... BUT, I also felt like it was fair to rebut the poster's contentions. And we have.

5 kindles active on my account -- ranging from 2 to 6 years old. And the older kindles were still working fine when I traded them in or passed them on to others.

See this post: from 8 years ago when this thread was first started: https://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,109654.msg1649305.html#msg1649305 

Between then and the ones I have now, 2 did 'fail' but only because they were stepped on or dropped. (It wasn't me! My brother is a bit touch on his electronics and they were ones in his possession. )

I wonder if this is just a US thing. I've been reading Kindle books in the UK for about 10+ years now and I've never once had this happen to me. 

Could be. It's only been once or twice. I sort of thought it might have happened because I'd been in a long stretch of library borrowing and hadn't actually PAID for a book -- not even a cheap one -- for quite some time.

Mines been staying pretty consistent the last few months. But, now that I've said that it'll probably randomly get unstuck again. For a while it did seem like it wouldn't stay stuck and just always went back to the first device listed.

Come to think of it, I suspect it's stayed stuck because the current 'default' is the first kindle named alphabetically. On the devices management page there's nothing designated as 'default' though I am certain I have previously designated a different device. I guess I've just decided to let it be and not bother with changing it. The one it's going to now is my secondary device, which is fine. Whenever I send anything (usually library books) I just send to the primary immediately after.

Based on that, my suggestion would be to rename the primary so it's alphabetically first.
