On jailbreaking a forced-obscelescent Kindle ...
"When my wife's beloved Kindle DX was bricked by obsolescence through no fault of her own, it gave me a frisson of excitement and anticipation to take on Darth Bezos and break open the Kindle so she could once again read her favorite books on one of the largest-format Kindle devices ever made."
Bonus points for "Darth Bezos" 😁

Your Kindle's not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak - and I'll show you how it's done
You can transform your old Kindle - even a bricked device - into the ultimate open-source reader. Here's how.David Gewirtz (ZDNET)

Oh nooooo, I’ve lost access to a service I’ve never used, and never had interest in.
From an email today:
"Starting May 20, 2026 — 14 to 18 years after their initial launches — we are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier. Here's what this means for you:
* You can continue to read books already downloaded on these devices, but you will not be able to purchase, borrow, or download additional books on them after that date.
* If you deregister or factory reset these devices, you will not be able to re-register or use these devices in any way.
Affected devices include Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation, Kindle DX and DX Graphite, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, Kindle 5, and Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation."
This is really unfortunate. I have a perfectly good #Kindle 3 (!) that is small, lightweight, has the keyboard at the bottom and was given to me by my sis many moons ago. So instead of #Amazon just stopping support and still allowing me to use my device, they are going to BRICK them all and force upgrades.
