"Starting May 20, 2026 - 14 to 18 years after their initial launches - we are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released 2012 or earlier. Customers still using their reliable old e-readers won't be able to purchase, borrow, or download additional books on them after that date."
"Amazon says it will be contacting customers ahead of May 20 to let them know what their older devices can and cannot do. If the older devices are factory reset or de-registered, customers won't be able to re-register them after the deadline has passed."
"Loyal users wanting to take the opportunity to upgrade will be offered a 20 percent discount on a new Kindle device. Kindle Fire devices released before 2012 will still be able to use other apps and other Amazon services, but will otherwise be subjected to the same limitations as e-readers when it comes to books."
Amazon will discontinue support for Kindle and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 or earlier starting May 20, 2026. Users will be unable to purchase, borrow, or download new books on these devices. They can still read previously downloaded books and access purchases through the Kindle Mobile app or newer devices. Affected users will be notified by Amazon, and a 20% discount on new Kindle devices will be offered to loyal customers. The decision has sparked outrage among tech fans on social media.
