"They only last for about a year. after the first year either the battery or the display performance will drop."
If this is true then I will buy the cheapest model that I can get in the market.
Buy another one once my first one die.
Do you agree?

I am still using the Sony-PRS505 that I bought shortly after I registered here at MobileRead.
I have a Kindle K3 (keyboard) that my husband bought me for no real reason; after some thought, I decided to it just for Kindle freebies and my Sony is still my main reader.
I liked my Sony so much, that I bought a Sony PRS-T1 when they were being clearanced from Target, just in case my 505 needed to be replaced. (It doesn't.) I love the wi-fi features of it, but am still using the older one more often because it is still my favorite.
I don't understand why someone would tell you that a product only lasts a year and then try to sell you a warranty. If something isn't going to last a year, I'm not going to get another warranty -- I'd put it toward getting the new one in a year that has all the latest features!
