The first-generation Kindle was launched in 2007, and Amazon has upgraded the Kindle multiple times since then. For users of the 2nd generation Kindle, Kindle DX, Kindle Keyboard, 4th generation Kindle, and 5th generation Kindle, which are relatively old models among such Kindles, Amazon has announced that 'e-book purchases and rentals are available. It is clear that we have sent an email saying 'it will be impossible'. It seems that ebooks already stored on these Kindles will continue to be available.

This is the first time Amazon has completely blocked access to the old Kindle eBook store. In addition, Amazon does not explain the reason for blocking access to the ebook store only on a specific model, but Good e-Reader, an ebook-related media, said, 'It is highly possible that the cause is a TLS problem. '.

More specifically, older models only support TLS 1.0 and 1.1, and the hardware is older, so you can't get the permissions you need to buy content from your ebook store. As a result, Good e-Reader speculates that Amazon couldn't solve the problem just by delivering firmware updates, and had no choice but to exclude older models from service.

In addition, Good e-Reader notes that there are cases where Wikipedia can no longer be accessed from these terminals because older Kindles do not support the latest TLS.

Amazon is giving out coupons to old Kindle users to buy new Kindles at 30% off. In addition, Amazon's method of distributing coupons to suppress negative voices about Kindle is also taken when the Kindle that supports only 3G connection becomes unusable when the entire 3G network in the United States is closed. Good e-Reader reports that this is a method.
