The first eInk device I'm aware of was the Sony Librie, released in March 2004, so that's approaching 6 years old and still going.

new ereader
I think you will probably need to replace the battery before the screen. Or simply get a new cool ereader because of all the new ones coming out!
So far I believe that the problems with the screens have not been very common. Amy |

With Nook I can always buy new battery so that's cool, but I will most likely buy a new one if they come up with color one day It would still be nice to keep my current one and give it to kids or something.

according to Bezos' Law you will buy the new Kindle model every 9 months so screen life is irrelevant
