Bad news for anyone holding on to a trusty, pre-2013 Kindle: Amazon is officially pulling support for its older e-readers, meaning the company’s most loyal customers won’t be able to download or borrow new books from 20 May. Worse still, once de-registered, your old Kindle won’t be usable in any way, becoming a useless plastic slab.
The news that Amazon is retiring decade-old devices might sound like standard industry practice. But an e-reader is not like a smartphone or tablet, and can easily last for decades before needing replacing.
