maybe 5 years is not the best cut off- I upgraded once it became practical to read on a 300+ ppi device, but maybe others are not that fussed.

I know Jon still speaks fondly of sony e-readers but if I still had mine I'd probably be horrified at the screen resolution, when compared to a current Kindle or Kobo.

also, compared to upgrading a smart phone ( & who has 5 year old smart phones) upgrading an e-ink reader is relatively cheap

how old is KFX now ? or to rephrase, how many years back do we have to look to find non kfx-capable readers ( as this sub-discussion comes from whether amazon could afford to enforce kfx and drop older formats )
