Unless you are very skillful, replacing a battery is impractical, and sourcing a new but compatible one is not easy
The newer Amazon tablets, those without the carousel, will accept sideloads of Google services and Google play store which makes them more useful all round budget android tablets. You can stack all the unwanted Amazon apps icons into a single folder called Amazon junk, for a tidier home screen, and there are good parental controls for blocking accidental one click Amazon purchases. Those same controls will disable Alexa if you don't want it. We have a useful Amazon echo device that we can shout at, so we don't need Alexa On anywhere else

Yes, there really isn't a reason for me not to upgrade. I joined Scribd for now and apparently my fire is too old for their app now as well. It's also been sluggish/slow for years and the battery has definitely seen better days. Now I just need to decide which one. It's not sometime I use nearly as much as e-ink, so cheaper is fine - thankfully they are all reasonably priced.
