Thanks Harry! I've done more digging in the forums and found the "E book readers, Which one should I buy?" section is probably most appropriate for my current questions. So I made a new thread there.
I appreciate your response about the battery too! I figured it was a lifetime thing, as that's how I understood amperage (as long as you have voltage and minimum amperage correct). But lately I've had a JBL bluetooth speaker whose battery life has declined somewhat quickly as well (only having used it for about 2 1/2 years so far) so I wasn't sure. Ah well. Probably just a coincidence. I've been using that speaker more frequently lately anyway, including to the point of total depletion, so maybe it has a memory effect or some such.
Thanks though!
