I got my non touch Kindle Keyboard E-Ink device for Xmas 2011, along with the cover with the built-in light.

So I've had it a good while now. I used it for free ebooks from the likes of Project Gutenberg initially, until early 2012, where I bought my first fairly priced ebook from Amazon.

I still regularly charge the battery. But how long that will last, I don't know. It never did hold its charge for very long.
