2016. Kindle Keyboard the Kindle DX need a new update or they will stop working
Amazon has implemented a mandatory firmware update for owners of older Kindle e-readers such as Kindle 1, Kindle 2, Kindle Keyboard, and Kindle DX. Failure to comply with the update will result in the discontinuation of internet access until the device's firmware is manually updated. The reasons behind Amazon's decision have sparked various rumors, including speculation that the update alters the e-reader's communication method with Amazon's servers, the possibility of data limits being imposed on older devices, and the upcoming change in Amazon's server HTTPS certificates. To ensure secure connections with Amazon's servers, the Kindle software needs to update the certificate authority file. If the device is not updated, it will be unable to establish a secure connection once Amazon changes its server certificates, leading to communication issues between the device and Amazon's servers.
2011. Amazon Launches Ad-Supported Kindle For $25 Cheaper
In an effort to further reduce the cost of its Kindle e-book reader, Amazon has introduced a new edition that incorporates advertising support. This upcoming Kindle with Special Offers, priced at $114, will be $25 cheaper than the ad-free version priced at $139. The advertisements and special offers will appear as full-screen screensavers and small banner ads on the Kindle device's home screen. Existing Kindle owners will not be subjected to ads, and Amazon will continue to offer ad-free Kindles for sale. It's important to note that this advertising program is exclusively available on the new, more affordable, Wi-Fi-only Kindle device, meaning advertisers will be targeting a market with zero devices initially.

If you have had a massive stroke and find yourself paralyzed on one side; reading a book is comical. The book keeps closing shut on you and you are forced to read with one hand and assistance from the nose. - very bazaar style. The kindle stays open all the time and can be operated with one hand. And the lighted leather case can be operated with one hand. I feel like it's Christmas. A real joy to use and the lighting is natural like a book. My vision is partially paralyzed also (scanning filter portion of the brain; but no problem with the kindle. I love books; I have a fairly large library; but with paralysis, the kindle is a real answer to problems that will be around for a few years. I love it.

I liked the 3G Keyboard Kindle, but it seems to have some kind of problems with screens getting frozen sometimes. I had hoped that Amazon's customer service would offer at least a refurbished 3G Keyboard Kindle as an option. I am a big boy, so I will cut my losses and move on. I will skip Amazon hardware for now and just use my iPad.
