A couple of years ago, I lost my 12-year-old Kindle Paperwhite. I was briefly devastated, and then bought a new one because I had to. Now I consider myself somewhat lucky, because I was spared the frustration of watching my Kindle's untimely demise at the hands of its parent: Amazon.
The company announced this week that it's about to effectively brick almost a dozen Kindle e-readers built before 2013. As we reported, people took to Reddit to express their dismay — and I don't blame them.
