Part of the issue of Li-Ion battery life depends on how fully it is charged and how fully it is discharged.

Granted.

I thought Li-Ion batteries were designed not to suffer from the "memory effect". Is that a myth?

If the devices support user-servicable batteries, than I concede the point. IME tablets do not have that property.

Is there a legitimate reason why not or is it a case of planned obsolescence (most undesirable from an environmental point of view and costly to the purchasor over the long run). At the very least it creates an industry for repair technicians who can install new batteries for people who can't do it themselves.
