I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Especially the screen, unless your only plans for the device involve lots and lots of static text. eInk has improved tremendously over recent years, but it still has a long way to go before it starts replacing LCDs and OLEDs.

    I really don't think it's even trying to fill the same niche. No eReader is attempting to sell you Netflix. It's just an entirely different device.
