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.

The type of person to rock Calibre would probably have airplane mode on constantly. Mine's been that way and I still have epubs sideloaded on my Kindle from when I first got mine all those years ago.

Yeah same. Until I accidentally turned it off 1,000 miles away from my computer. That was a sad day.

Second this. Airplane mode is on and books are sideloaded. However, if it hadn’t been a present, I‘d probably have gotten a Tolino (German/European e-reader brand that is identical with kobo) because they support epub directly (and yes I know the Kindle technically does that, too, now but wordwise n stuff only works if you convert them to kfx)

Same on my still works fine Kindle Keyboard.
