Amazon is discontinuing support for older Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier, affecting around 2 million devices. Users will no longer be able to download new e-books or access certain features, although they can still read already downloaded content.
Amazon has announced that it will stop supporting Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier from May 20, 2026. The affected devices include the Kindle 1st Generation, Kindle DX, Kindle Keyboard, and several Kindle Fire models. Users will no longer be able to download new e-books, purchase or download content, or use the 'Send to Kindle' feature. They can still read already downloaded e-books, but deregistering or performing a factory reset will render the devices unusable. Amazon is offering a 20% promotional code for some Kindle devices and book credits for users who purchase a new device before June 20. The company is also encouraging users to recycle their old devices through its recycling scheme.
