All of that is technically correct, however my non-Amazon readers (Sony, Nook, ...) reached the end of their useful life when their batteries died or their screens broke. All of them were "unsupported" at that stage (3-4 years after announcement), so not much to do about it. With that, I have a very old Kindle (7 years or so) that is still working -- with "Amazon's blessing" of course.
Any reader will turn into a brick one day. What matters is what you're getting before that point. For me, I'd rather use Send-to-Kindle and never bother with SD cards again. Naturally, YMMV.
- icantevenhold 4mo agoFwiw the pocketbook has the same kind of feature. The question is I guess if you trust pocketbook or Amazon more. I tend towards the former since that is their main business and not one of 1000 things they do. My last Pocketbook lasted for 12+ years until something heavy fell on the screen one day. But I hear that kindles are similarly robust until amzn decides to brick them.
- maratc 4mo agoI can count on Amazon being there in 10 years from today. I can't count on pocketbook.
