The new Kindle paper white may finally get me to upgrade … but also maybe not.
I have a 10+ year old Kindle Paperwhite (I think first gen). I use it daily and it’s still just nearly a perfect device. It’s withstood rough treatment, battery life is still ~2 books long, and it has never been made obsolete by a software update.
No other electronic device I’ve ever bought has had this kind of longevity and it’s not even close.
Cool to think that if I do upgrade now that $159 will probably get me to 2035.
- manacit 2y agoI've upgraded my Kindle once, to get USB-C charging and a waterproof device. For the price, extremely worth it.
