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.

    Well, good luck to Amazon trying to wipe my kindle remotely with black magic then.

    It doesn’t have WiFi configured at all.

      When it happened to me I was staying with a family member whose house I’d never been to before, so I didn’t have their wifi. I couldn’t believe it.

        Some Kindle devices come with a built-in „free“ cellular plan. Maybe it was that?

          Aw man I didn’t even know about that. I guess 4g LTE is Amazon’s “Black Magic”

            I mean, in general it’s pretty neat. When I was 12 or 13 I had a kindle touch with 3G and since I didn’t have a phone or computer I used the kindle touch to read a lot on wikipedia (it didn’t work for everything, I think. Just a handful of selected sites). Also, it generally costs extra when you buy it, just not monthly.
