So you might get an even better deal if you wait. You've got until December (at the earliest) to decide what to do and Amazon usually heavily discounts all its Kindles over the holiday period. If you've received a notification from Amazon, you don't have to buy a new Kindle immediately - in fact, I'd suggest not doing so. So if you have an older Kindle e-reader, check your email. Therefore, the problem lies with the Kindle itself, or at least how it syncs - and not with the content. Make sure that your Kindle has the most recent software update.

Check that your account payment method is current. Turn off any filters on your home screen or change to another view. But, and heres the key point: only after resetting the Kindle. Make sure that your Kindle is connected to the internet. According to The Verge, you should've received an email Amazon this week that your device is going to lose some connectivity/abilities, but in that email it has also included a $50 discount code to purchase a newer Kindle - either a Kindle Paperwhite ($130) or a Kindle Oasis ($250) - as well as $15 worth of eBook credits. Because, by resetting the Kindle to factory defaults the content loads. That said, it's not all doom and gloom for people with older Kindle devices. AT&T is going to do the same by late February 2022. Verizon is set to sunset support for 2G and 3G by the end of the year (December 31). This isn't a huge deal for older Kindles that have built-in Wi-Fi, as they'll still be able to download new content over Wi-Fi, but older Kindles that are LTE-only - such as Kindles (1st- and 2nd-gen) and the Kindle DX (2nd-gen) - will basically become obsolete.Īs for when these older Kindles will be affected, it depends on which mobile carrier that you have.

And older Kindle devices that don't support 4G and 5G, will lose their data connections. The reason for this is that all popular mobile carriers are transitioning away from 2G and 3G networks to 4G and 5G. Old MacBook Pro's Battery Bad? Apple Might Fix It
