Obsolete, but still functional for their intended purpose. The screen will fail before the components get tin whiskers, if you use it often-ish. E ink readers will fail later because of a very low refresh rate, but as a screen monitor it may be a poor match. Pixel-Qi full sun display mode may be a better match for what most want. |

For anything networked, not having access to the latest and greatest ciphers, or CA certificates, eventually causes problems. It's possible that mobile formats won't be supported. And a decade or so out, what was once a generous provisioning of storage and memory will frequently come to seem small. Android-based devices such as the Onyx BOOX line probably won't be able to get newer OS updates even if the vendor was willing to support them as Android itself seems to have a moving hardware baseline (I'm typing this on ... an older Android device).
That said, the displays themselves should still function, yes.
