The type of device that provides storage on the Kindle is subject to wearing out.
It takes a lot of time and use, but it is possible to wear it out.
Realistically though, all these devices are limited by their batteries which will wear out far sooner than anything else.

My ideal kindle would take rechargeable batteries, a la the old jetbook lite. If my PW1 worked on commonly available rechargeable batteries I'd probably never buy another reader.
