Exciting news for people who love to buy things twice: Amazon recently announced via email that, as of May 20, it is ending support for any Kindle that was released in 2012 or earlier. As of the cutoff date, these devices will no longer connect to Amazon, meaning you won’t be purchasing, borrowing, or downloading any new books with them. Your Kindle will still be able to access the books you already have stored, but you won’t be able to browse the store or access third-party platforms, including library apps like Libby and OverDrive. Added bonus, if you do a factory reset, the device will become unusable.
