Although it is quite possible to use an ancient eReader.. I have a few... You have to bear in mind that electronic components can easily fail and kill your reader. Or new epub standards will make it obsolete. It's a bit like saying 'I want to buy an old betamax video recorder so I can play new videos from my local shop for ever'.. Can you spot the flaw in this approach..? Or in fact several flaws? If you need books for ever then paper is king!
@lumpynose the boox note I have is excellent and frankly if there is a better eReader I have yet to see it. The battery life is about a month for me, as I use it as an eReader and not for watching videos.. It runs all the library apps I need and is a pleasure to use. I have a tablet for other stuff but keep coming back to the boox to read.. It is just nicer and lighter. And it runs Android 6 so good enough for eink...
