Amazon will stop support for many old Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets on May 20, 2026, affecting models like the Kindle Keyboard, the first Paperwhite, Kindle Touch, and Fire tablets from 2012 or earlier. After that date, these devices cannot download new books, buy anything, or get cloud updates, so users can only read books already saved on the device. Many owners are now using guides to jailbreak the devices by adding tools like the KUAL launcher and KOReader, which let them read EPUB and PDF files and help keep their old devices useful for years.
