*) Very likely.
*) A real good chance.
All KT devices should be at the peak or on the downside of their "useful life" bell curve.
There is a bell curve involved that defines "die early" (die late, die now, die yesterday, die tomorrow, etc.).
The manufacturer sometimes has that information, since it is one of the key factors in deciding how long they will warranty the device.
Consumer devices are usually superseded long before they actually die.
Amazon has released 63 Kindle models since yours was released (as MR counts 'models', see:

tl;dr: give up
