My oldest is a Kindle 4 from 2011. I bought it by mistake. I thought I was ordering the Kindle 4 touch. They did sort of look alike to people like me who can get blinded by new shiny objects. It would have been amusing to any passers-by to watch me on unboxing, trying to get that non-responsive screen to do something. Luckily I was on my own so my embarrassment and annoyance at myself was mine alone.
Over the years, I have tried to give it away twice. Both times it has been returned. The first time, the mother of my friend preferred to take my old Kindle Keyboard 3 because that is what she was used to. The second time, more recently, to another friend. She kept it for a few months but then politely returned it. She is just not into ebooks.
These days I have quite the collection of Kindles (and one Kobo) and I keep them all charged. The Kindle 4 can be a bit dodgy with its charging light not always lighting up. It's a case of having to jiggle the cable - actually unplug and replug usually kicks it into gear. I much prefer reading on my Oasis though.
