A class action lawsuit alleges that Amazon unfairly ‘bricked’ older Kindle devices by removing access to digital content and discontinuing software support.
I didn’t realize that the old Kindle Fires were part of this.
I have an ancient one that lived in the bathroom for when I wanted to keep reading whatever was on my Kindle in there, and it suddenly stopped working.
I’ve already replaced it with a tablet from Temu that will be running just the Kindle app, but I’m fantastically glad I never bothered to purchase another Kindle Fire. My next e-ink device will likely also not be a Kindle either since I haven’t bought a Kindle book since they removed 1984 from devices like a decade ago. 🙄
