What's the current lifespan? My original Kindle is still working just fine.



Don't you find the low-resolution and the low-contrast of the first generation panels annoying?


No, since I've upped the boldness since day 1 lol. I never noticed it being "low resolution".


Depends on how things are set up with the refresh rate; subpixel rendering may have an effect IIRC. Details I don’t really understand, but e ink has a shorter lifespan than other tech.
