How long have you had your kindle 1? I'm just wondering as to how long I can expect my K1 to last. Thanks.

I replaced my KK with a K2, but I passed the KK along to a friend. Between the two of us it's over 18 months old and still going strong.

May of 08 still has original battery, and I use it most days.
I also have a k2. I use both, and my one grandson reads for 30 minuets. (or longer) outside in the sun (rain or shine) daily. We bribe him with my kindle to get him outside and away from his computer.

I think my K1 must be Ann's Kindle's twin. Mine is also still going strong. I recently gave in and got a K2, and I'm giving the K1 to some friends who live overseas. |

I've had mine for about 1.3 years. Still going just fine, battery still lasts forever. I've only had minor issues that I assume are associated with buying a 1st gen product. The main (right) Next Page buttons bends a little toward the end, and the second (left) smaller Next Page buttons sticks. Otherwise, functions perfectly.

I've owned my Kindle Classic two weeks short of a year, and it works like a champ. Battery life with wireless on is getting fairly short these days though. I mostly use at it home so keeping it charged isn't a big deal.

I hesitate to say it, but I'll have had mine for a year in August. My daughter's will be a year old in September, and my husband's been using his since Christmas. Nary a problem with any of the three - and believe me I'm knocking on my wooden head (and the coffee table) furiously right now! The only thing I've seen with mine is that there's a hairline crack in the "previous page" bar on the left. It's been there a good long while. |

10 months of fairly heavy use...reading 2-3 hours a day, more on weekends
I have noticed a drop in the battery life the past couple of weeks.

A year and 4 months. The first battery died almost to the day of having her exactly one year. I have had no trouble with her whatsoever...

17 1/2 months of heavy use, including a few unfortunate falls and it's still going strong. The battery life isn't what it once was, though, and I'll probably buy a new battery within about 6 months or so.

I've had mine for about 7 1/2 months. Still works as well now as when I pulled it out of the box!

If you let your batteries get to about 30% then let them fully charge, they will perform and last longer. I do that with my cell phone and laptops too. All batteries are really lasting a lot longer that way. Has something to do with battery charge memory. |
