I've had a Kindle (the proper one I mean, not the "Kindle" Fire) since early days and its been genuinely life-transforming.

I still use my Kindle paper white from 2013 daily. The battery life is pretty bad now, but otherwise, I'm very happy with it and see no reason to update.
FWIW, Amazon will trade in your old Kindle, give you a credit and a discount on a new one: https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Trade-In/b?ie=UTF8&node=108250...
I also have a relatively old kindle(the voyage) replacing the battery is easier than newer models due to the lack of waterproofing. It only took me a few minutes to do, I really recommend it as batteries are cheap and my battery life woes are now gone.
