You are categorically wrong.
It did not become useless. It became a legacy device without new features, that still has perfectly good hardware and integration with the Kindle Store.
Call it obsolete if you will -- any old device will fit that shoe. I am typing this on an 11-year-old computer, every component in it is "obsolete", yet it runs perfectly well on a bleeding-edge operating system.
Given that Amazon does not have a magic wand that they can wave over all the DXes in the world to make them new, no kidding they are obsolete. My Kindle Touch is obsolete. What is your point?

Indeed!
I am typing on a Chromebook, but to my left is a giant CRT on a
17 year old Dell, 450Mhz, updated many times to XP running my wireless router and home printer network. I can set up a download on it and walk away with no worry. I can format perfectly my stock portfolio or a map better than anything I can do on the Chrome.
It is like an old saw or ax. Just sharpen it once in a while and it is still an excellent tool.
