wtf. I’ve had my kindle since 2011, the battery still lasts weeks, it works perfectly, and I frequently praise Amazon for this. wtf.
Will I be able to load books via USB? Or there is some new DRM the kindle won’t be able to decrypt?
- sbarre 6mo agoYeah this is my question. My Kindle has been in airplane mode since the day I bought it. As long as I can still keep loading books on it over USB, and it's just their DRM ecosystem that will stop working, that's fine with me. But if they are aggressively bricking the units, if I accidentally turn on wifi by accident and it just completely stops working, I will be extremely pissed.
- fn-mote 6mo agoJailbreak it now to avoid the risk.
- alanfranz 6mo agothey are not bricking the units. just kindle store won't be available anymore, and the azw/epub version which is supported on your kindles won't be provided anymore by amazon anywhere. what is on the kindle will stay and keep working. if you reset the kindle, DRMed content won't work anymore.
- sbarre 6mo agoAh cool, well that's fine, I don't load DRM content on it anyways.
- chocochunks 6mo agoYou can load DRM free books. Amazon already killed their method of loading DRM laden eBooks onto older Kindles by USB in the last year or so.
