I like to upgrade them (the battery life, screen, refresh rate, etc. have all gotten consistently better over the years), I usually have one to leave at work and one for home use, and I give the hand-me-downs to friends and family.

You can also sell them back to Amazon for a pretty good bonus when it’s time to upgrade. I think I sent back an old paperwhite and got $50 + 20% off my Scribe.

Right now I have an Oasis and a Scribe that I use about equally.

Reading is one of my bigger hobbies, I read around 100 books a year on Kindle.

Interesting, thank you. With regard to the refresh rate, I saw a recent eReader recently, the difference with my nine year old eReader is striking indeed.
