I have a Kindle from 2014 still going strong. I guess it ll be bricked in a couple of years.

Any kindle device that I bought barely lasted more than a couple of years, so joke is on them I guess?

I'm curious what happened. Mine lasted from (2010?) until I replaced it with a kobo sometime during COVID. I'm sure it would still be working if I had kept it.

All I did was keep it offline. Didn't even need charging, because it got enough power when I loaded it with new books every couple of weeks.
