I still have my first eReader. A Kindle Keyboard. I was a little late getting on board. But I would be lost without it.

I had one of the original Kindles, the one without a touch scree or a light, which lasted a long time. I recently just got a Kindle Paperwhite from my friend about three months ago, which I like more because it has the built in light.

My Kindle is my second E-Reader and I love using it. Don't plan on getting any more.

I've had two Kindles. The first one got stepped on when I was cleaning (never doing that again :)), but the second one is doing fine. As for this whole over-usage thing, I am confused. I haven't had any problems, but then again I don't use it for anything other than reading (there are other features). Also, sometimes I just read on my laptop using the cloud instead of downloading it to my kindle. Plus, you guys might just be more hardcore than me, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

I am on my 2nd Kindle Fire. I had the first one, a 2nd Generation KF, for 2 1/2 years. The mechanism inside where you put the charger in broke. I've had the Kindle Fire HD since July and I love it :)

Just the old version of Kindle, the one that still features a keyboard. I kept waiting for the newer versions to combine in one reader a number of features, but they seem to have fragmented the offering very much (e.g. paperwhite display in one, but battery life is different, another one has touch screen and hefty battery life, but not paperwhite screen etc.).

I've never had one, but my Stepmom has gone through 3 I believe. She's pretty angry with them.

In my case of going through 3 or more Kindles (Fire) it was due to a Toddler getting his hands on it. Either dropping it in his excitement to read or play a game or they no longer charge due to the connection. I also purchased the Touch for my mother and she loves it. I replaced her Kindle Touch once. I purchased the warranty which has proved to be wonderful and replacement was really easy. I ordered a new Kindle Fire HD this last time that had been refurbished at Christmas - also with the warranty. I am still getting used to it but it seems pretty good. I still have the old Kindle Fire and that one was given to my mother to use when she goes to various appointments so she can play games or read.
