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.

I switched to Kobo years ago because you can check out library e books via overdrive seamlessly (I'm in New York state USA ). My local library system supports overdrive and so does the New York City public library. Any resident of New York state is eligible for a library card/account at the city public library.

You can use overdrive on a kindle but Amazon has put a lot more friction into the process
