Kindle loyalists scramble as Amazon turns page on old e-readers

“Laura Alice Bracken, a #Geelong-based artist, started building her own cyberdeck as an extension of her creative practice, in which she was experimenting with #MIDI controllers that take #biofrequencies from #plants and transform them into #soundwaves.
But Bracken, 39, wanted something she could take out into #nature and, after falling down a rabbit hole online, her mind started to widen to the world of #cyberdecks.
The device she is making – housed inside a vintage abalone shell – will also double as an e-reader.
“I just found out my #Kindle is about to be made redundant,” she says (Amazon recently announced they would no longer support #eReaders made before 2012).”
“It is a perfectly good Kindle ... so why is it suddenly going to be trash? It’s because they want to sell new ones.”

Amazon ended network support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier, blocking downloads, purchases, and reactivation after resets 📚
The shutdown highlights long-term risks of software-tethered hardware, while open-source tools like Calibre remain device-independent alternatives 🔓🔗 https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/amazon-pulls-the-plug-on-older-kindle-models/

Kindle users are facing an unwelcome change: Amazon last month said it would end support for e-readers released in 2012 and earlier, with one longtime user saying the move is a "complete betrayal." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/20/tech/kindle-amazon-e-readers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #amazon #kindle #ereaders

@bookstodon
It's interesting, I've really enjoyed reading on my different ereaders over the years, I still do, but I seem to be drifting back to physical books lately. Ebooks are really convenient, but at least for newer titles they aren't much cheaper than a paperback, if at all.
I also find that I remember physical books better (and audiobooks the least). There's also a certain sense of satisfaction and contentment of looking at my shelves.

I've been working on an implementation in Go of the KOReader Sync stuff for a self-hostable sync server
https://github.com/Brunty/koreader-sync
Are there others out there that also do this? Yes
Did this need to exist? Maybe not
Am I having fun working on it as it's a simple project to get to grips with some stuff in Go because I'm new to that language? Yes
Am I already using it as the target for KOReader Sync on my #PocketBook Era Color? Yes

So the Surface is kind of a bust right now, but I did have some success reviving my old 1st edition Nook. Luckily this was from a time that batteries were still normally pretty easy to replace, so swapping in a new battery was easier than making breakfast.
Still has a bunch of books I loaded on it too. It's weird to look back on what I was reading and interested almost 2 decades ago. Even my wallpaper is a throw back to the late 2000s 😂 #eink #ereaders #retrotech
