I think I left my Kindle at the cafe tonight

I went to a book club meeting at a cafe tonight about 20 minutes from here. Never been there before. When I got home I couldn’t find my Kindle. I think I left it there. I didn’t realize this until after they were closed. Now I’m kind of freaking out. I will call tomorrow and hopefully they have it. I hope nobody stole it.

I need my Kindle! How will I fall asleep without it!? I can’t even read a regular book as they’re all boxed up since our house doesn’t have enough room for bookcases :frowning:

Cross your fingers for me guys!

Yikes! Crossing my fingers for you.

In the meantime is there any way you can tell amazon not to authorize any downloads from your account?

That’s a real tragedy. I was going to spend the evening sending food and antiretroviral drugs to starving African children dying of AIDS, but then I heard about this.

The OP is upset, and we’re in MPSIMS. Dial back the snark, please.

This is why I added my phone number to my Kindle’s name. Hopefully someone will turn it in for you.

I hope you get it back. But you might want to deactivate it through your Amazon account, just in case someone took it and tries to buy books through your account. I’m pretty sure you can re-activate it later if it’s found, without losing any purchased books.

I’m a Luddite. What does this mean?

I have a friend who is always telling me I need to get a Kindle - or something like it. This is exactly why I haven’t - I am horrible about leaving stuff places. (I have a half dozen cheap reading glasses all around the house, because I lose them so often.) If I leave a book, I’ve only lost a little - but I fear I would leave my kindle and lose quite a bit.

Good luck!

I would be quite disoriented without my Kindle.

Speaking of losing stuff, I brought gloves to work this morning for the first time this fall. I only have one remaining in my coat pocket, and I haven’t even worn them yet.

I called the cafe and it’s there! I will go pick it up later. Woohoo!

:slight_smile: I just ordered new gloves this morning because I can’t find mine from last year…

The inital screen when it turns on shows his phone number so any aspiring good samaritan can easily return it.

Great news!

Now where’s my missing glove?

Merci.

It’s in the pocket of that coat that you were wearing last time it was cold.

Mangetout probably has it.

I know! I actually thought about Mangetout!

Great news, whew!

I still have the K1 and read it several hours a day. It is particularly great while waiting in doctors’ offices, airports or for when my wife is shopping. In more than two years I have yet to lose it, but the first thing I did was paste a piece of cardboard with my name and phone number inside the cover.

Bet you won’t forget it again.

Reason number 2 that Kindles suck*. If you leave it behind somewhere, you’re out £100 rather than the cost of a paperback.

  • Reason number 1 is that they suck as kindling.
