Thank Amazon for not allowing Kindles to be turned off.
It's not so dire as that. People are still using their 10-years-old Kindle Keyboards. The battery is not going to give up in 2, 3 or even 5 years, if you charge it regularly. I charge my mostly unused Voyage once a month. Modern Kindles use very little battery when asleep. The Oasis 2 and 3 can last several months, literally.
