The lack of support for ePub is very annoying, when my 2013 Paperwhite finally breaks I'll definitely replace it with a non-Amazon ebook reader with better file support. Probably one with Android so it has proper browser support since there is a web frontend for Caliber and it might be nice to access Readarr directly too.

I've been waiting for my paper white to break, but it just keeps on going. I might just have to upgrade anyhow.

I'm just surprised my 2012 Paperwhite hasn't broken. It's still chugging along like a king. There's a thin line across the screen about 10% off the top bezel, but it's easy to ignore. I don't think the battery life has degraded too much either.
Perhaps because it is relatively simple, this has been one of the longest-lasting and best-aging devices I've ever owned.
