> Amazon recently confirmed that starting May 20, these older models will lose all access to the Kindle Store. While you can technically keep reading books already on the device, the real kicker is the factory reset limitation built into the software. If you ever need to reset your device or try to register it to a new account after the deadline, it becomes a literal paperweight.

is this true though? You can't browse the store on the device, but you can buy and manage your books on amazon.com, including sending them to the kindle; no?

also, i use my kindle to read library books. will that still work?
