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.

@Edent I have books that are decades old that still work. Every time.

Just wait until the publisher knocks on your door, walks in and takes those books away.

I have books which are decades old which can't be found in stores any more - I simply can't buy a replacement.. I also have books which are damaged too much by water and sunlight - they're no longer readable.

eBooks are superior in all the ways that matter. Once the DRM is removed they're effectively immortal.
