Kindle users in uproar re: latest update, old devices now unusable: 'Fuck You '

5 hours ago

Amazon will stop supporting older Kindle devices from May 20, 2026, including models from 2012 and earlier.
Users of affected devices will lose the ability to purchase, borrow, or download new content, but can still read already downloaded books.
Amazon is offering promotions for newer devices and recommends using the free Kindle app or Kindle for Web for continued access.
The decision has sparked significant backlash from users who criticize it as unnecessary and accuse Amazon of forcing upgrades for profit.
The move coincides with a trend among younger generations reviving retro technology and analog hobbies.
