Amazon is said to soon discontinue support for several older Kindle devices. According to social media chatter, the company has informed users that select Kindle models released in 2012 or earlier will lose key functionality starting May 20, 2026. While these devices will continue to support basic reading, their capabilities will be significantly restricted. The move is expected to signal the end of an era for some of the legacy Kindle models and has drawn significant flak from Kindle’s earliest e-readers.
