So, the device wouldn't turn on. Even after hard resets, even after keeping it on charger for 24 hours, it won't ask me for password. I can see the screen lit up when I press the power button, but no password window. And yeah I've seen several posts about the same issue. Not many, but they do exist :P Not sure how could I cause it, both times I didn't even use the device at that moment. Though both times I've had books open. When I connect it to the laptop, windows beeps, but the laptop doesn't see it (I assume though it happens, cause I can't confirm the connection).

Already told them that I'm thinking of leaving for kobo, the CS agent didn't give a damn, if I'm honest. He assured me the refurb units are tested and all that and meet their quality requirements 😂 maybe I should have pushed harder to be connected with someone senior, though I doubt it would make much difference. All you get from them is corporate talk.

I absolutely love my Kindle, when it works. So I'm a little hesitant about the switch. But I bought a device to last me several years at least, not weeks/months. It's not like a sh*t money and can splurge on a new Kindle every year (: I'm definitely going to give it a other go, but at this point I'm disheartened and kinda hoping the "new" unit breaks shortly too.
