We have 3 ereaders (various kobo ereaders) in our house, all a minimum of 3 years old and all working perfectly well.
We also have 4 tablets of various ages as well, which are also used as ereaders, as well as light browsing, email etc.
Plus 4 smartphones which could be used as an ereaders if we wanted.
So we're not in the market for a new ereader in any form for some years.
As to ebooks. I generally get ebooks via the humble bundle offers and also from places like project Gutenberg.
I almost never buy ebooks or pbooks from the large companies, (with a couple of exceptions for authors I particularly like).
The only printed books I buy are tabletop Roleplaying game books and that's often from POD via drivethrurpg or places like that, so the main booksellers won't see my business.
Although I often buy these in PDF format as well, again a sale which won't be seen from the main booksellers.
The same goes for PC games, I mostly get these from humble Bundles or from the various Steam sales where the prices are massively discounted. so Bricks and mortar games stores never see my money anymore.
Mostly I get Indie PC games as well, as they are more interesting for me and the big PC games are often very expensive and have very intrusive DRM on them.
