I love e-ink devices. I love the comfort of reading on an e-ink display. But this. This is a deal breaker.

@x_cli you can still read books on the old Kindles. You can still copy them on to it with USB. It just can't buy books from one store any more.

@Edent Sure, but I really dislike that a company can just "unplug" *my* device, and prevent me from factory resetting the device I own if I need to (for whatever reason), because that would brick it.
This is programmed obsolescence.
