Hardware wears out. You can often get a bit more life out of it by running less demanding software, using it in a less demanding (cooler) environment, or by reducing the CPU frequency (underclocking), but these are not permanent fixes.
My Glo is 20 months old and works perfectly, I hope it lasts for a few more years yet, but if I get 2-3 years out of it then I'd be happy. The money I have saved on paper books has more than paid for the ereader already.
If it only lasted 13 months then I'd be trying to return it for a replacement though, or at least trying to negotiate for a big discount of a new one.
