Amazon’s Ending Support for Older Kindles… And That’s Not The Worst Part

Video Description

Amazon is ending support for older Kindle and Kindle Fire devices from the 20th May 2026. But for me, the biggest issue isn’t simply that support is ending. It’s the fact that if one of these devices is deregistered or factory reset after that date, it can’t be registered again. In this episode of The Weekly Spark, I talk through what Amazon is doing and what this whole thing says about digital ownership in the first place.
