Amazon sent customers an email this week saying that devices released during or before 2012 will no longer be supported from May 20.
Amazon will disable Kindle and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 or earlier starting May 20, 2026.
KEY POINTS
- About two million devices will lose the ability to purchase, borrow, or download new content.
- Deregistering or factory resetting affected Kindles after the cutoff will render them completely unusable.
- Amazon is offering a 20% discount and book credits to impacted users who upgrade before June 20.
- Experts warn this move will generate approximately 624 tons of electronic waste from still-functioning devices.
