Results are binary. 1 or 0. 
for some reason these adds popped up for me. Not sure if it's just country specific adds or if I want to know what sort of footprints I've left on the internet.

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

No, it should be an integer:
0 - Nope
1 - Yeah, pregnant
2 - Pregnant with twins
3 - Pregnant with triplets
etc...

I'm tempted to suggest a use for the negative numbers, but that would not only move this thread to the Soapbox, it would also get me downvoted into oblivion... So I'll refrain from doing that...

Legalise post-natal abortion! Make it legal up the age of 16, and see how much better behaved kids you get!

Good one! I wasn't thinking in those lines, but now that you mention it...

I bought a Kindle Fire 7, just a bit over 1 year ago on a Black Friday deal for $34.99.
Can't complain too much at that price.
I mostly used it for reading books in Kindle reader software.
I was very careful to charge it before it became too drained and to not charge it to often.
Now, if I charge it and unplug it before work (7am) and then attempt to look at it again that night (around 7pm) it has about 17% charge left.
Even if it's on Airplane mode it is basically dead by that evening.
Is that all you get out of these batteries & devices? 1 year?
The hardware (except the battery) all seems fine. Seems like it performs well and all.
Again, it was only $35 so I understand 1 year is a long time, but it just feels like a "throw-away philosophy" taking over.
Anyone else have a Kindle Fire 7 for over 1 year? What's your experience?

Depends a little on the exact type of the battery, but essentially that is correct. Lithium polymere batteries, for example, have about 100 good charge cycles. It probably is a battery with only one or two cells and should not be too expensive to replace.
Edit: It's a single cell lithium polymer battery (3.7V, 4400 mAh). Discregarding its extremely flat shape, you could get such a battery for a remote controlled toy for about 5$. But not this thing. We begin at 25$ and can also reach 50$.

Only 100 charges!?! wow! I guess that is about right. Charge it about every 3rd day over 1 year and it's toast. 
That's great info. Thanks very much for sharing.

They wear out a little more each time they are charged. The capacity gets lower and the internal resistance of the cells rises. In the end they become as tired as you described them.
I use those[^] for some outdoor activities. By now they are in their third year and have seen some action, mostly at the weekends and only occasionally during the winter. They sre still in good shape.

When my Nexus 7 died, I bought one to tide me over until the WookieTab arrived.
It was cheap.
It felt cheap.
It was - frankly - rubbish. The Amazon philosophy of "Google is the Antichrist" ruins it, along with the ads it tries to stuff down your throat all the time.
In comparison, my Nexus battery was still fine after four and a half years ... Then the electronics died.

Most electronic devices run on smoke. If you see the smoke escape, the device will no longer work.

That's funny you had a Nexus 7 and then bought a Kindle Fire 7.
I did the same thing.
The Nexus 7 was really nicely made Asus pad. I can only use the Nexus 7 as an alarm clock now but it stays charged for over a week as long as it is on Airplane mode.
The Fire 7 hardware does indeed feel very brittle.

I don't even like the back of it! The Nexus has a nice, textured back that stays in your hand well. The Fire is cheap slippery plastic that you have to hold or it falls to the floor.
But the real bugger for me is that it won't "see" the Chromecast - exactly the same software on the Nexus sees both my Chromecast and my Fire Tv stick!
It's going up on FleaBay as soon as I get round to charging and fully resetting it.

I've had a Kindle Paper White about two years, and charged it about 3 times in those years.

That really is amazing technology. Very cool battery conservation.
Can you read on that at night though? Does it work with a book light?
Or does a book light reflect off the screen too much?

The screen is backlit, ideal for reading in any ambient light. Midday, overcast, complete darkness, all the same on your eyes.

I've had an EZReader (Astak reader) since 2008. Still have the original battery in it, but now I have to charge it about once a week if I'm actively using it. It used to go for 6 weeks or so.
