The Internet of the first generations of Amazon readers will soon be cut off

If you are still using the first or second generation of the Amazon Kindle e-reader, you may need to download as many books as you can on your device; Because soon these versions will no longer be able to connect to the Internet at all. Amazon alerted its users this week and wrote on its help page:

Mobile network operators (MNOs) are eliminating their 2G and 3G networks. Kindle devices that require a cellular connection via the 2G or 3G networks to connect to the Internet will not be able to connect to the Internet after these networks are disconnected.

According to cnet , this is especially true for the first and second generation Kindles as well as the Kindle DX. This year, mobile networks will cut off 2G and 3G connections, and none of the devices they use to connect to cyberspace will be able to access the Internet anymore. Of course, you do not have to throw away your device; Because users can read previously downloaded titles or transfer new compatible books to their device via a micro USB cable. Amazon, meanwhile, says new Kindle devices that use Wi-Fi or 4G to connect to Amazon’s servers will not be affected.

According to some reports, Amazon has sent an email to its users warning about these changes, which will prevent older devices from connecting to the web since December. Amazon also offers discounts for this group of users to migrate to newer versions such as the Kindle Oasis or Kindle Paperwhite.
