The quality of later products might have improved,
and the statistics is very approximate, that's true.
There is a practice, however, of recalling bad products.
Or fixing/replacing broken devices of that category - not just abandoning the customer: OK, our next product will be better, try again.
That's why I will go to Sony or Kindle the next time.
(Kindle shows Russian + other characters, it is easy to try and return, etc.)
Every company has growing pains. I've paid my share for the product to let them grow - and no "thank you", no apology.
It might sound naive, but that's psychology of a consumer: I'll go to Amazon, where they would apologize and replace a bad product.

Alas, I had expected mine to last, too!
Good luck to you
(Going to Kindle in this case is like an unrequited love story - I love PB, but he/she does not love me, I have to get married with a second choice)
