Kindle 4
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- My oldest is the iriver story from 2010, followed by the Kindle 4 (2011). They both work fine, and the battery is yet to die.
- Parent context: There are firmware downgrade tools but they require the device to already be jailbroken to use. Reply: I personally use an old Kindle 4, the one without the touch screen and the physical buttons. And I love it …
- I miss my Kindle 4, when the battery gave out I replaced it with Kobo Clara 2E.
- The kindle 4 screen looks so good!
- I love the Kindle 4 (non-touch). I got one a few months ago for $15 at Goodwill and I've been hooked after getting KOReader on it. Buttons for the win.
Cons
- It's been ages since my old kindle 4 has been stolen
- I've got an old Kindle 4, a Kindle 10, and a Paperwhite 11.

then last week got this kindle 4 too for 3$ Now i can read two pages of 86 at the same time!
I use a Kindle 4 regularly and it is still fine, even with OG battery.
Kindle and Kobo already proved that they can last 10++ years by looking at those Kindle Keyboard, 4, Touch, Paperwhite 1/2/3 or Kobo Glo, Touch, Mini that still in used today
I've recently been thinking of buying an old Kindle 4 (I think that's the one I want) it had buttons and no touch function. But I remember the screen being much crisper than my current Oasis.
