I've got a 1968 Ford Thunderbird, it runs just fine. I've got a 2010 Dodge van with an automatic transmission that's had the transmission swapped twice in the past two years and the dang thing still slips on hills.
Point being: Some things work great for one person, sometimes we have problems with technology that who knows why it fails but it does, sometimes things work way longer than we expect -- nobody has all the answers. Except us wise guys on the internet, of course.  |
I think you are missing a key point, you keep trying to use laptops as an example of poor performance of Li-on, when for ebook readers, it is an outlier example. With laptops, you are (typically) charging every day/other day; with e-readers you are (typically) charging every week/every other week. Completely different use cases that dramatically affect battery life.
