If this is true then I will buy the cheapest model that I can get in the market.

My Sony PRS-500 still works. It is the oldest 6" e-ink reader available outside Japan.
So even after 6 years it is still usable. It saw about 3 years of intensive every-day use. The display is clearly inferior to the newest models, of e-ink screens, but it *is* three generations older.
I also have PocketBook 360° well over 3 years old and it is still in working condition. Recently a screen driver started to show signs of old age - it might fail in foreseeable future. I have used this reader every single day, I carry it *everywhere* (except to work, where I am supposed to work and not read fiction).
