Because they haven't invented time-travel yet?
(Seriously, that's a fairly new feature, and you're talking about fairly old devices, running on a somewhat vastly different FW, and that are basically unmaintained to boot. And before someone brings it up: the 3.4.1 update can be considered a glitch in the machine, because what it fixes was such a simple but pervasive issue).

And what about adding these features to the Android, Windows and iOS Kindle apps? There'd be no question of needing to update old firmware - and therefore no need for time travel.

Why should a company continue to update and maintain old ebook readers from 4-5 (or more) years ago? This is ancient technology.
That's like trying to get a Mr. Coffee repaired! Just buy a new one. Best to invest in a new ebook reader and enjoy it for about 2-3 years, and then expect the same thing to happen. |

@Mike L: That's a much better question

title of this thread is a bit misleading. With an exclamation mark at the end it looks rather like a thread with a recipe for these features.

I beg to differ that "newer" is always better, and that maintaining old products is a waste of time, or even less profitable. First of all, the DX is NOT obsolete: its larger size makes it more readable than the newer paperwhite for some of us with tired eyes, who turned away from reading on computer screens for precisely that reason. I use the DX as my preferred choice. Second, there is a large and growing market for NONthrowaway products, especially among those of us who think that ebooks could be an ecological alternative to printed ones in a 400+ppm CO2 world undergoing a planetary crisis as we speak. Even for the manufacturer, "planned obsolescence" is not necessarily always the most profitable option: there's no economic growth on a dead planet, afterall.

That's why after all these years, I'm still using my good old K's, and will only buy a newer model and keep it as my daily driver iff Amazon brings back features. I'm glad there are people who don't take a ride on the bandwagon of newer gadget let's buy it because it has this and that ppi etc. |
