Here is what puzzled me -
The warranty period of a Kindle is one year (you have not mentioned if you have purchased an extended warranty) -
The battery life-time you are concerned about is that beyond a year's usage -
Which is beyond the device's warranty -
==> No possibility of a warranty replacement of the battery.
I.E: If the battery needs replacement in year 3, then you need:
a) a 3 year or greater warranty
So the battery replacement can be done by a "shop" experienced in getting unglued, glued together consumer items.
or
b) a device that does not have the battery glued to the fragile vitals. That is, one you can replace yourself.
Meaning exchange the current device while you still can under the 1 year warranty (I assume) you have.
or
c) since the damage (to your free cash) has been done, forget it.
This is like wondering if it will rain the weekend 3 years after the one coming in a day or two.
And the other puzzling thing about your logic is you say that you have not noticed anything about yours different from what you have read (-- here I assume you mean read before buying --).
OK, that means you have no new information since you read about this topic prior to buying the model and now, when you own the model.
My question remains -
Why become concerned about it now?
The time to raise this concern was before you purchased it.
If the answer is, you didn't do the reading before the purchase, but only after the purchase, then see your lettered choices above.
If your answer is you became concerned after reading something JSWolf wrote, then your only logical choice is (c) above. (forget the entire topic)
