I found it this morning. On Valentine's Day! :)
Part of it reads:
"I just wanted to tell you that I was disappointed (after the initial surprise wore off) that you were unable to find a printer for your latest mystery and short stories. Solely because of this, I’ve just purchased a Kindle and naturally, all of the e-books and stories from Amazon that I didn’t already own of yours on paper. I bet I’m not the only one who has done so out of love for your work!"
Actually, that was the first time that my books actually promoted Kindle. I really wish they'd show some appreciation.
Meanwhile, I've got that warm, fuzzy feeling that maybe all is not lost.

Congratulations, IJ, that's a terrific compliment.
Razors and razorblades. It's in Amazon's best interests to drive the price of Kindles into the ground.
Thanks, Dana. I loved it. :)
Great news, congratulations. Getting someone to invest in a Kindle so they can read more of your work is high praise for any author.
Thanks, David. People can be extremely nice. But what's striking here is that my not having a print edition helps sell Kindles. You know that must be happening to other authors. There are a lot of people in my situation. I come across them all the time on web sites. And the ones who still have publishers are busy self-publishing their backlists.
What a great letter to get up this morning. Congrats, I.J.
