Here are the latest news about Kindle Keyboard:
2016. Kindle Keyboard the Kindle DX need a new update or they will stop working
Amazon is requiring owners of older e-readers, including Kindle 1, Kindle 2, Kindle Keyboard and Kindle DX, to update the firmware. If they do not comply, Amazon will disable all internet access until the e-reader is manually updated. Why is Amazon implementing this? There are several conflicting theories. 1 - This update alters how the e-reader interacts with the Amazon server. 2 - Amazon may be introducing data limits for older e-readers. 3 - Amazon is updating the HTTPS certificates on their servers soon and they need to refresh the certificate authority file that the Kindle software uses to ensure it can trust Amazon’s servers. Without this update, your device won’t be able to connect with Amazon servers (once the server certificates are changed) because it won’t be able to establish a secure connection.
2011. Amazon Launches Ad-Supported Kindle For $25 Cheaper
Amazon has discovered a new method to make its Kindle e-book reader more affordable: a new edition will be released next month that is subsidized by advertising. The new Kindle with Special Offers will retail for $114, which is $25 less than the $139 Kindle. The ads and special offers will appear as full-screen screensavers on the Kindle device and as small banner ads at the bottom of the Kindle home screen. Current Kindle users will not encounter any ads and Amazon will continue to offer ad-free Kindles. This initiative starts from the ground up, exclusively on this new, less expensive, Wi-Fi-only Kindle model. Therefore, advertisers will be targeting a market of 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.
