ow!

I should not have read while walking. I stumbled over some uneven pavement and fell down. I didn't hurt myself too badly, mostly my hands, one wrist and both my knees are scaped up, but my ebook reader was destroyed. :((( Also my trousers, but I mostly feel the loss of my ereader.

I mean, I feel lucky that I didn't break my right wrist -- I awkwardly landed on that since that hand was holding the ereader and scraped its outside, but I guess the device absorbed quite a bit of force (it actually bent and partly shattered). Or damaged my new glasses which were far more expensive than my ereader.

But still. I really liked that ereader, and it wasn't that old either.

Oh no!! I mean, sure, things could have been worse, but it sucks to lose a gadget, damn it!

Oh nooooo! :(

Oh yikes! Glad you weren't hurt...too much.

Another point for paperbacks, I guess. They bounce!

Oh NO! That is one destroyed ereader, all right. :( Also, ouch! There might not be anything broken, but that sounds terribly unpleasant. I hope all the bruises and scrapes heal up quickly.

Since I have a general habit of walking and reading, this is something I'd better keep in mind ...

Ouch! I hope your knee is okay. I guess I should feel lucky that my vertigo prevents me from reading while moving at all, or this would be me!

did you take out any insurance? or if you bought it with a credit card does that have any accidental damage cover in the small print?

also, potentially, the breakage of the e-reader actually meant that your wrist didn't break?
