Well that makes the old kindle pretty pointless then. Do you think its a way for them to make you buy a new one?

The title is kind of click baity… I can’t remember the last time I bought a book through the kindle directly. It’s much slower

Affected Kindles are the fourth- and fifth-generation models, which came out in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Keyboard and International models.

I wonder if they just plan on stopping pushing new versions to these devices and the shop feature needs constant updating.

Yeah was thinking the same thing since it involves payments integration

I prefer to buy books on another device anyway, so I wouldn't say the device is pointless, but it certainly isn't great.
