Warning as Amazon Kindle users lose access to new e-books - here's which models are impacted

Amazon has announced that some older Kindle models will no longer be able to access e-books. This has left people who have stayed loyal to their older model unable to access new content.

The change was made last month, and cut off access to the Amazon store for five different Kindle models. Amazon has not given a reason for blocking access for these devices, but the Good e-Reader website has suggested it could be due to the ageing hardware and software of these Kindle devices.

The older technology would make it more difficult to obtain necessary permissions to make store purchases. There are still ways to get new books on these older Kindles, however. Here are the models that are affected, and how to get new E-books onto the blocked devices.
