Ebook woes

Grar. I cracked the screen of my old Nuvomedia Rocket Ebook today. It doesn't look like something that can be repaired.

I've been using this old model ebook reader (with a whopping 4 Mb of memory) every day for years and years, reading fanfic on it, stories-to-be-beta'ed, blogs, pro novels, you name it.

Man, I miss it already. Snf.

I'm going to look at Ebay for a replacement, either another old Rocket or a somewhat more recent model (the REB1100), but I'm not very sanguine. Shipping a delicate device like this from the US to the Netherlands is a doubtful operation, IMO, and the last time I tried to buy a backup ebook this way it arrived broken.

Still, I might as well ask: anyone happen to have an old Nuvomedia or RCA ebook reader lying around that they would like to get rid of?

ETA: I now have a Frankenbook! It's cobbled together from the model I just broke and another one with a dead battery that hasn't worked in ages, and it looks like this might work. *crosses fingers*
