Amazon are killing off their old Kindles - notably the ones which still let you remove DRM from their ebooks.
I suspect that it is also because they can't connect to modern TLS servers.
A shame, although I was only using it for stripping DRM.
There are a few jailbreaks but the hardware and software is ancient, so I might have to repurpose mine as yet another semi-passive display.

it's about control, not anti-piracy. The PW1 and earlier can't run the advanced tracking & control FW versions.

Don't dump. Use the Kindles for Gutenberg or ebooks from Kobo (not locked to Kobo apps/ereader, though many have Adobe DRM on the downloads).

Amazon previously ended downloads outside app / kindle.

Publishers/ Authors: Don't give Amazon exclusive rights!
