Wow! guess I'm lucky compared to many here! My wife's tablet just recently crapped out after 3 or 4 years..and she reads kindle every night on it..now it works only when charging..unplugged on a full charge it discharges to zero in a couple of minutes. I also have same tablet...heed the notification warning "battery is at 20%" at that point turn it off and charge it..or it will be forever till it is charged
