As of May 20, 2026 Kindle e-reader devices released in 2012 or earlier Amazon will no longer support. While the older devices can still read existing content they will no longer be able to buy, borrow or download new books. Only pre-downloaded content. Models released from 2013 on remain fully supported.

I don't. I own an iPad so that's why I thought I don't need a kindle.

@Ineeddentures .......you might think about giving it to someone who would get some use out of it.

@celticeagle - I read a lot, it's cheaper than buying paper books.

Yes, I own a Kindle e-Reader. I don't know how old it is, though. Let me look at it and I'll tell you how old mine is. Mine is a Kindle Fire 7th Generation so it was released in 2017.

I bought a Kindle way back when but never used it. I prefer actual books.

I always did too. Perhaps you could give the device to someone who might enjoy it.

I bought a Kindle long time ago and I gave it to my child as a gift. As reading is a good habit. It is easier to read more books from Kindle.
