My old Glo is almost six years old as well and is still holding up well, together with its official sleep cover. I used it happily for a couple of years until I upgraded to the H2O and then passed it to my mother, who is still using it. She hasn't complained about battery life and on the occasions I get my hands on it (for updating or uploading books loaned from the library) it still looks and feels the same, to me.
My mom is very careful with it, I have to say, she always keeps it in the sleep cover and carries in around in her purse inside a small zipped bag. That probably helps with the durability.
