Amazon has announced that they are discontinuing service to older model Kindles. After May 20, you won’t be able to add, borrow, or buy any new books on your device. You’ll still be able to read downloaded ones, though! They say it’s because the old hardware can’t handle their newer software in the Kindle Store.
