If you're prepared to charge frequently and/or replace the battery, that mitigates that.

My five year old refurbished Kobo Aura still runs like a champ. I'm honestly Amazed how well the battery has held up. I've finally replaced the Aura, just because I wanted a better screen. But I'm planning on giving it to a relative and I imagine it'll still function for years.
Of course, that longevity is probably in part due to the Aura receiving daily use by me.
