Actually the first part is not "let's say" since all devices break sooner rather than later and eink ones are fragile so I expect a Kindle to have a 2-3 year average life.

The second part - maybe there will be Kindle 3 in 2 years, but what in 10 years?
Of course *Amazon* wants you to keep buying Kindle 3, Kindle 4...

The whole "never encountered a problem" with drm works only if you regard books as disposable the way magazines are. That of course is anyone's prerogative, but most people do not regard books so
