While they won't break, BWinmill makes a very good point that these devises are disposable. Almost none come with user replaceable batteries. And for most there is no battery replacement policy.
Apple will replace your battery (really swap your device for a refurb with a new battery) for a set fee designated on their site. Whatever problems they have, I sure appreciate that policy.
Amazon does not have a policy for the Fire-- maybe they will somewhere down the road when these batteries are starting to die, but I just don't understand why they have not set it up now. And I'm even more baffled why no one gives a crap.
The economy is in the sh*tter, and we're still being trained to throw away things that work just fine.
