1,051,200 reads in two years

Hi.
I am writing a code which has consumed a lot of ram and i am trying to reduce ram consumption by
constantly reading from eeprom one-at-a-time whenever i need the data. from my calculations,
I will be reading 525600 times from the eeprom per year. I am a little worried about this,
I won't write as mush as that per year and
the datasheet stated "1,000,000 write EEPROM endurance" and didn't say anything about reading.
can my pic internal eeprom withstand this for long?

The simple answer is to toggle the data bytes.... If you have 4 or five values needing to be in EEprom each time you write do it to alternate locations, therefore doubling your allowance.

I have to use FRAM in one of my products.. Over a trillion writes!!! Its external, but hey-ho...

Whoops... Reading!!

Not time limit.... Forever!!

So.. I have one less thing to worry about.
