What happened: Amazon announced it will stop supporting Kindles released before 2013, preventing these devices from downloading new e-books. This decision has caused frustration among affected users.
Why it matters:
- Owners of older Kindle models will lose access to new e-book downloads.
- The move may push users to upgrade devices, impacting their reading habits and expenses.
MNN Take: Amazon's decision reflects the challenges of maintaining older technology and the need to focus on newer devices. Users with outdated Kindles will need alternative options to access new content.
