fire 7 9th gen battery life
so I had a prior fire 7 which was 16GB, then I trade it in for 32GB of same generation, and I noticed that the battery on here is worse, I had it for about a year now and it drains quickly, is it because the storage is bigger?
or is it a coincidence because i use this fire 7 as an e-reader more than kindle i recently got because i like the books syncing. the other fire i had would literally be on 11% for 20 minutes straight w/ wifi while i used it, this one i pick up a couple hours later it went from 93% to 56% then to 11%. does it need battey replacement?

You can sync books using a Kindle too.

If you wait until 2027, all portable electronics such as the Fire will have to have easily user replaceable batteries.

That model is 4 years old. Lithium polymer batteries only have a rated life of 2-3 years from date of manufacture. Some live shorter, some live longer. The battery may just be losing power capacity as expected. All modern portable electronics with LiPO suffer from this.
