I had the 4th generation Kindle (non touch) briefly just a couple of months ago and was able to register it successfully (I traded it in towards a new Kindle). The Kindle Touch is also 4th generation. |

If they are old enough, they can't even read AZW3/KF8. Anything older than a Kindle 3 aka Kindle Keyboard (which includes the Kindle DXG that's still registered to my account) is stuck with MOBI.

Technically the DXG is later, but software-wise it's really the earlier DX. It just has a brighter screen than the DX. It & DX were obsolete at launch. Too little RAM and too poor language support. Too low resolution at 9.7″ for PDFs. Too slow CPU for PDFs
Worst ereader I ever bought. The KK3 has to be updated firmware and Amazon has to know this as it originally only did mobo. There may also now be registration issues. Perhaps a safer minimum is a Kindle Basic or PW1. Though my KK3 did get three azw3 ebooks from Amazon last week. It's the sole ereader on that account. I always go to My Content and Devices and Download to PC for USB transfer and never turn on WiFi except if battery was flat (only way to reset date). |

maybe this is the end of my kindle era
Quote:
My library is much larger now because I am a sucker for those one-day sales. It's convenient to have books in my kindle library (though I have often purchased from kobo). But I have lost books before because they were locked in an old format (geb, lit . . .) and don't want to spend money on books that I can't transfer to whatever device I want to read on. I'm viewing these latest changes with a mix of apprehension and relief. Apprehension because I like the current setup. Relief because maybe it will break my purchasing addiction. My calibre library is already huge, plus my public library loans out ebooks, so it's not like I will run out of things to read. |
