>I’m not entitled to my Kindle working forever just because I bought it today. Yes you are. This is how it worked for nearly all of history. Its the entire point of the right to repair movement, to prevent companies from this scummy model of demanding a subscription for everything and trying to stop people from owning anything. Buying a Kindle over and over again benefits no one but Amazon and their stock holders. Its even more disgusting that the OP's Kindle broke because Amazon broke it on purpose.

> This is how it worked for nearly all of history I don’t see you saying this about how we used to die if we got an infection. Times change. > Buying a Kindle over and over again benefits no one but Amazon and their stock holders. It benefits me! The kindle I bought last year is many times more enjoyable to use than the one I bought a decade ago.

  >The kindle I bought last year is many times more enjoyable to use than the one I bought a decade ago. I know you're trolling, but in what way? Ebooks were always light, the only meaningful innovations have been sort of having color, getting bigger, and a stylus. Those are legitimate reasons to upgrades, everything else is software that could be updated. >Times change. People being in abusive relationships and thinking its good for them have existed forever. See how I didn't bring up something completely irrelevant to the conversation to make a point.

    > I know you're trolling, but in what way No, I am not trolling. It is faster to turn pages, it has more storage, the screen is better, it has a light. If you want to include the scribe, it has a much bigger screen and I can write/draw on it. It’s like your computer or phone. Would you really be thrilled to be using the 2015 version of those things today?
