My PaperWhite 3 purchased in 2017 is still going strong. Before that, I used a Nook Simple Touch. That one still works fine too, except it doesn't have a screen light (which is why I moved to the PW3). So I don't use the Nook anymore. I just pull it out and charge it every 6 months to a year and make sure it boots and comes to life. My eReaders are not heavy use or hard use. I only have these two. I see no reason to upgrade from the PW3. It does everything I need. I'll probably just keep using it until it dies, then I'll find something to replace it. IMHO, eReaders hit maturity many years ago. The newer models don't add anything substantive in my view. They just add "different bling-bling" that doesn't really affect the basic functionality of the device hardly at all, IMHO. They're like a hammer nowadays. There's nothing a new hammer can do any better than a 50 year old hammer. The design is mature. Ditto for eReaders as far as I'm concerned.
