Amazon Is Ending Support for Older Kindle Devices on May 20. What Owners Lose
Amazon will cut off Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 or earlier from the Kindle Store on May 20, blocking new book purchases and downloads. Devices already registered will keep existing titles, but cannot be re-registered if reset after the cutoff. The move affects about 3% of users. Amazon is offering discounts and credits to those upgrading by June 20.
