The thing most likely to cause premature death of your ereader (of either of these brands, or others) is breaking the screen. If you treat it gently, use a cover, make sure it is not twisted/bent/subjected to presure or impact forces or temperature extremes, the next likely limiting factor (assuming you don't drop a non-waterproof device in the bath) is battery lifetime.
(Most) Kobos have the advantage of having an internal SD card that can be removed and replaced with a new one should it fail out of warranty. Kindle has the advantage of a customer service department that will often offer a modest discount on a new Kindle should the device fail out of warranty.
