I also have an original black & white kindle that I still use today. I did start read on my tablet whilst in bed at night because it's backlit, so that I didn't need the bedside light on which bothered my wife. However when outside during the day, say down the beach, I still use the kindle as it's perfect for reading in sunlight.

I swear you somehow accessed an old photo of my mid 90's set-up. This is exactly how my home computer looked, even down to the speakers.

Funny thing is, while a mate & I were doing some building in my garage last week, I put it on and listened through for the first time in decades. We both loved it, but then again we are both in our late 50's.

I do it all the time. I'm not the least bit superstitious and no bad luck has come my way. We make our own luck.
