( Thanks, Albert!)Įdit: And a reader has left a comment reporting that his original Kindle went through the same cycle as the Kindle DX mentioned above. I’ve got software v2.5.8 and the Kindle Services update installed and 5 bars of coverage that allows me to browse the Kindle Store, but the device refuses to register ('Unable to connect at this time').Ī Kindle DX owner reported that they could not connect to the Kindle Store, and then could not register their DX after a factory reset.Įdit: It’s also worth noting that several Kindle owners on Amazon’s support forums are calling BS on this post because they can still download ebooks to their older Kindles. Now that I’ve performed a factory reset on my K2, I’m experiencing the same problem. All were updated with the latest official software, including last year’s security update, and yet they can’t download ebooks from the Kindle Store. The Kindles in question include the Kindle DX, the original Kindle, and the Kindle 2.

Numerous Kindle owners are reporting on Mobileread that their old-model Kindles can no longer connect to Amazon’s servers over 3G, and in several cases can’t be registered with Amazon.

Don’t look now, but it seems Amazon has quietly ended support for its oldest Kindle models.
