Amazon just pulled Kindle Store access from every Kindle released before 2013. The hardware still works. Your books still work. Side-loading EPUBs over USB still works.
The fix is the same one that's worked since 2007 — and here's exactly how to do it, step by step:
@getbookshelves
"You can still log into Amazon’s “Manage Your Content and Devices” page on the web, download your owned Kindle books as files, and transfer them manually via USB."
No, you can not! They disabled Browser downloads for bought ebooks last year, which was malicious.
There is no fix. If your Kindle is full, then copy files to PC. The Amazon files will only work with that Kindle, unless DRM is removed. Then you can delete via PC and select an ebook at a time on the web page to send.

Authors need to eat and most don't even make a minimum wage, never mind a living wage.
Amazon has conned too many authors (SP) and small publishers to be "exclusive" on Amazon.
Not like only one supermarket having Heinz beans, but like only one having any baked beans or kidney beans.
