Amazon to end support for older Kindle devices
Amazon will end support on May 20 for Kindle models released before 2012. Users will still be able to read e-books already downloaded, but will no longer be able to buy or download new titles on the devices. After the change was emailed to users, criticism spread in online communities, TechRadar reported. Users cite continued functionality, the single-purpose nature of e-readers and concerns about electronic waste. Some plan to use sideloading as a workaround.
