Bingo!
My first reader was an EZReader. Long dead and the brand is gone along with their store. The other stores/publishers I bought books from back then, are also gone.
OTOH the 900+ paperbacks in my storeroom are still there and readable (the pages are getting a bit yellow and some need help from cellotape)

OTOH Amazon wont even sell you a new battery to keep your old Kindle powered. (this is not just an Amazon trick. Things are being made to be unrepairable or the stopped selling that part )
