Sometimes I wonder if people take "return on investment" into account when getting a new e-reader. I don't read a huge amount of books (on average between 30 and 50 books a year, depending on how many pages they have and how busy I am with other things).
I have the KA1 since almost day one, but it sat on a shelf for the first half a year, waiting for the bugs to get ironed out and actually make it usable, so I effectively started using it around April 2017.
That means the KA1 is in use for about 5 years and because I've been busy the last few years with moving and work, I read less books than normal. I read only about 120 books on the KA1. At €289 when I bought it, that means each book cost me €2.40 on top of the price of the book itself to read.
That's an expensive way of reading; I couldn't begin to justify replacing my e-reader every other year, as I almost always go for top of the line stuff with hardware... and if I like it, I keep it a _long_ time. Often close or just over 8 years actually.
