I keep having random issues with my PW4 since last year, but also with other e-readers (a PW3 and Kindle Fire). I always leave Wi-Fi off except for random updates -- I turn on to load in new books purchased, and once those are downloaded, which can be an effort, I turn the Wi-Fi back off

My question is, could I be causing myself issues by doing this? I used this PW4 a lot, pretty much daily, could I be wearing it out more or inadvertently causing more glitches by doing this with the Wi-fi?
