    Support is kind of topical at the moment if you’re deep into the Kindle Store. Honestly, it’s bullshit to get you to buy a new device.

    Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire tablets from 2012 or before will no longer have access to the Kindle Store to buy, borrow, or download new books or content.

    Which models are losing support?

    • Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation (2012)
    • Kindle 5 (2012)
    • Kindle Touch (2011)
    • Kindle 4 (2011)
    • Kindle Keyboard (2010)
    • Kindle DX and DX Graphite (2009 and 2010)
    • Kindle 1st Generation (2007)
    • Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (2012)
    • Kindle Fire HD 7 (2012)
    • Kindle Fire 2nd Gen (2012)
    • Kindle Fire 1st Gen (2011)

      Ahhh it’s the store, yeah if I used it I agree I think I’d be mad.

      Makes sense for them though, it’s extra work to support old formats and old quirks each device might have. There’s got to be an alternative, but I’m not sure what it would be.
