Almost certainly, I didn't mean to imply it couldn't fail. It's probably one of the higher spots to fail on ereaders since it's the most subject to repeated wear and tear. And the Nook Tablet gave enough evidence that the cables, when poorly designed, would fail.
I'll probably pick up a 32gb Forma. I can get my current one to mount but it's finicky and a life time of experience has taught me once a port starts getting finicky it's only a matter of time before it dies. Could be three plug ins from now, could be 50, but it's going to happen.
