I have one with the ads. It's really not that much of a pain. Just need to swipe to log in.
It does, however, keep recommending books I already have in dead tree format.

it’s sounding a lot like a Trigger’s Broom of a kindle though  ;D
For every complex problem in the world, there is a simple and easily understood solution that’s wrong.

The screen had to be replaced after I cracked the original by kneeling on it in a tent years ago.   :facepalm:

Went to get the Haibike out of the shed this morning only to find the rear wheel flat. It's a bleedin' Slime tube an'all. Luckily, I've got a set of spare wheels, so I've swapped them over without too much swearing. In so doing, I noticed that I've put the front tyre on in the wrong direction. That's not a task for this evening.
I've never fixed a puncture on a Slime tube. I foresee trouble finding the leak unless it's mahoosive.

Forget it - new tube.  I know, I've been there.

I did manage a successful patch on a slime tube once.  Took a few attempts, by which point I'd got schmoo in the valve and it was only fit for the bin.
