"Starting May 20, 2026, customers using Kindle and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 and earlier will no longer be able to purchase, borrow, or download new content via the Kindle Store."
"These models have been supported for at least 14 years—some as long as 18 years—but technology has come a long way in that time, and these devices will no longer be supported moving forward."
"I have a Kindle Touch that I've had since 2013, it works great, I bought a book on it a few months ago, and suddenly it's obsolete."
"A Kindle is a text device! There is no need for updates."
Amazon announced that it will cease support for Kindle models released in 2012 and earlier, effective May 20, 2026. This decision affects devices like the Kindle Touch and some Kindle Fire tablets, leaving users unable to download new e-books. While Amazon has provided discounts for users to transition to newer devices, many customers have expressed outrage, feeling that their devices, which have been functional, are being made obsolete. Amazon stated that these models have been supported for many years, but advancements in technology necessitate this change.
