As GM posted recently, the useful life of Li-Ion is greatly dependent on their use history.
The ones in hybrid electric cars that some manufacturer's claim will last for ten years have much more computer control over the battery management routines than a Kindle does.
But then it costs a lot less than the $10,000 for a new car battery when you replace the Kindle battery.
