Hi Alfred
Yes I bought a cover at the time to protect the KK. It took me a bit of
time to fathom how the KK fits those clips, but I have it sorted now.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Thanks Jackie then that means I do not have to worry about wi-fi key but
strange that. At my brother's, yes we had wi-fi turned on and were
surprised we did not need to put in the key. However, where I live there
are many wi-fis in the vacinity but guess that will be OK. Will find out
anyway when going for another book. My apology to all re the incomplete
book, it may be as per my last e-mail to the list, where I just got mixed up
when trying to go back about 15% and unfortunately I just did not succeed
with this. It then appeared to get 'stuck' at 86% but later moved on from
there. Thanks as ever Jackie for all your help. I like your suggestions
too to Amazon. Did you invest in a cover for your KK? I find all the
sockets and rocker switch at the bottom plus USB port/plug difficult to feel
and there is nothing wrong with my sense of touch. They all appear so small
so I cannot imagine someone with large hands or reduced touch say due to
Diabetes managing one. The Kindle for PC is good too though but it is good
to have the KK for when the PC is not on or just a change away from the PC
or when travelling.
