Is it possible for the battery to remain with about the same charge for 4 years? And if he’s not lying, then does the fact that the book hasn’t lost its charge for such a long time mean that the battery’s health should be ok?

I cannot say if he's not lying, but a half-charged li-ion battery is about what they recommend if it is going to be in storage for a while.

Thank you!

I have only tried the PRS-T2 "case with light". I had plans to get the PRS-T2 after they were discontinued, but I never actually got around to it. The T2's cover with light is so much better than the one for T3, which starts to wear and fall apart at the edges and doesn't give you a nice gooseneck-mounted LED which the T2's case does, nor does it properly protect the edges of the device like the T2's case does. The T2's case is thicker, but so much more robust and usable.
The PRS-T3 should be higher resolution, so if you appreciate smaller pixels, it might grow on you. As others have said, you can play with the settings if you would like to see text darker.
