TL;DRAmazon is ending support for older Kindles released in 2012 and earlier on May 20.You’ll still be able to read downloaded books, but you won’t be able to buy or download new ones on-device.Online commenters are frustrated, though many say sideloading should keep old Kindles useful.One of the big selling points of an e-reader is that it’s supposed to last. It’s not a phone you replace every couple of years, and many Kindle owners have happily stuck with the same device for well over a decade. That’s why Amazon’s latest move is rubbing some readers the wrong way, with support for older Kindles being phased out even while plenty of them are still working just fine. As TechRadar spotted in a Reddit thread on the r/kindle subreddit, Amazon has told owners of some older Kindle models that support will end on May 20. The change affects devices released in 2012 or earlier. While they’ll still be able to open books already downloaded, owners will lose the ability to buy or download new titles directly on the device.
