Exactly. I got a Fire because it was a good deal on a tablet. It did not replace anything.
My reader is a K3 and I hope to get several more years out of it's current battery.
My MP3 Player is an iPod Video 5.5G that's at least 5 years old, which I've replaced the battery in once already. My son uses a 3 or 4 year old Sansa with a battery that still works well. (2-3 years for a Lithium battery is an appropriately conservative estimate, I'm sure, but far from a hard limit.)
My 10 year old P4 laptop has had it's battery replaced once, and is serving well for the stuff I use for (I do have a newer laptop also for work stuff).
