"They only last for about a year. after the first year either the battery or the display performance will drop."
If this is true then I will buy the cheapest model that I can get in the market.
Buy another one once my first one die.
Do you agree?

I didn't buy my Kindle for the device any more than I bought my computer because it's a lovely machine. I bought my ereader based on the availability of books I want to read in English when I'm living in Mexico. I bought my computer for the programs I wanted to run.
I chose to go with Kindle and my second Kindle worked until I loaned it to a friend to go trekking in Nepal. The bag with the Kindle in an outside pocket got dropped a long way and it broke. My Kindle DX was my first Kindle but the size was a problem so I gave it to a nephew who reads a lot of .pdf files. It's still working fine. My Kindle Basic works fine and, of course, my new Kindle Paperwhite works great.
I have had no regrets.
