Today, I came home from work to be given $1 by my mother. This normally would have been nice, had my mother not said, "I just sold that ugly old black and white picture frame you always leave lying around in your room." Which also would have been nice if that "frame" wasn't my Kindle. FML

^ Yard sale. My parents always complain that I hoard too much junk (they never get the idea behind why I have so many different controllers for my NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Wii, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, etc)... and demand that I throw away all the controllers and only keep "one or two since that's all you need". And don't get me started on chargers... they think all I need is one single charger to take care of my multitude of laptops and game consoles and cameras... So when they see a 'worthless picture frame' (which I believe had an image of the Bronte sisters as the default on the lock screen the last time I saw it), they think they're doing me a favor by getting me money by selling a 'picture frame [I] just leave laying around on the floor'.

Wow. What a bitch. Is she a little messed in the head? How could she not tell that it was a Kindle? I would demand a new one

You should have your mother buy a brand new kindle or better (an ipad) for you!!! She had right to get rid of your kindle

I feel for you. My dad had the same parents as you. They are very technology-challenged. They would hire me at 10 years old to set all their digital clocks when the time changed because they couldn't figure it out themselves. When my dad still lives with them he used to collect electronics and other things and his mother would come in from time to time and clean out the junk in his room. He lost a lot of great stuff over the years including a working model of the old Enterprise with lights and everything. I would be pretty upset if my mom sold off my Kindle, too. I just hope you were at least able to save all the books you had on it. I know that with the Kindle, everything that is sent to it is backed up on Amazon.com. From reading the posts it sounds like you probably had a backup somewhere like me. Since you had the Kindle DX, the loss of the Nook doesn't sound like to big of a loss, but it's still an expensive loss.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Also, whoever bought it is a raging asshole for hosing your mother like that. They had to know it was worth far more. It's not nice to rip off people who don't know the value of what they're selling. :( Legal, sure, but still wrong. I'm glad my parents are tech savvy.
