Amazon is “discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier”
And here’s my Sony PRS-505 from 2008 - released four years earlier - it still works fine, can read .epub and .pdf, is extendable to 32GB capacity by two memory cards and moddable with a custom Linux distribution (PRS Plus).
It also doesn’t have WiFi, so no one can remotely delete 1984 from your library. Fuck you, Amazon.
I absolutely love this thing. It’s a solid block of metal and will probably live longer than me. It chokes on ePubs with embedded fonts sometimes (64MB of memory is not a lot), but with Calibre you can strip them out and then they all work fine.
I did not know this thing existed lol. I have an older Kindle, not sure when I got it but it’s gotta be close to 10 years old. I didn’t read the article yet but it still works as far as I’m aware. I primarily use it for loading PDFs and epubs and the like.

Absolutely jealous of that, I have a touchpad one but yours is antique beauty

Since it’s Sony I have to ask: are the memory cards normal standard ones or some proprietary discontinued Sony crap?
There is one SD card slot and one MemoryStick slot.
