Amazon has announced that Kindle devices from 2012 and earlier will lose support on May 20, 2026. Users can still read downloaded books but cannot purchase new ones. If a factory reset is needed, the device will become unusable. This situation highlights the precarious nature of digital ownership, where technology can quickly become obsolete. Additionally, Elden Ring's pricing on Switch 2 has raised eyebrows, particularly due to the inclusion of the Tarnished Edition and its expansion, reflecting the high costs associated with gaming.
