Owners of older Kindles won't be able to buy ebooks on-device soon

It might finally be time to upgrade that chunky old Kindle. A slew of older Kindle generations will no longer be able to access the Kindle Store from the device itself, breaking what is perhaps the most convenient feature Amazon’s e-readers offer.

The Kindle models in question include the 2nd generation, 4th generation, and 5th generation models, as well as the Kindle DX and Kindle Keyboard. Amazon sent an email to select Kindle owners letting them know their devices would be affected by the change, according to Good e-Reader.
