I still have a functional Nexus 7 that I used as an ebook reader for a long while until replacing it with a kobo e-ink device. The N7 still boots. I wonder if there's anything useful I could do with it. It paid for itself many times over in the first 3 years and everything at this point is just bonus.

Is yours the 2012 or 2013? I think they resolved the storage issue in the 2013 model. Unfortunately, I had the 2012.

2013. At 10 years old I'd bet its time to replace or get rid of the battery in there.
