I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Not the current color ones, even though they're expensive.

They still have much longer battery life and they’re still like reading on paper. Just not in a very high "print" quality when in colour.

Depends on the OS tho. Android sucks for this.

For e-readers? It’s fine, if it’s modified heavily enough. The tolino e-reader line (before they just became kobos) used a heavily modified version of Android and they were great devices.
