Did they really end support for the older Kindles? I haven't used mine in a while, but I thought they could still sync and get books over wifi.

No lights on the Kindle Keyboard though, and the 3g modems won't work anymore for obvious reasons.

I have an 11-year old Kindle and while it can’t access the store any more, it can still sync over wifi if I purchase books on the web.

I have an oooold Kindle keyboard model. As you said, cellular doesn't work, but it syncs fine over wifi. Seems to be holding a charge for less time, tho, so maybe it does have an 'end date'.

It's very easy to replace the battery with a new one. The whole back cover pops off.
