This failed due to various sites removing a security hole. The Kindle Keyboard was updated but I suspect older Kindles are out of luck.
Nope, same thing, first Security Certificate, then Basic Web is unable to make a secure connection. What's the "security hole"?

I ultimately saved my files and did the factory reset. It didn't make any difference with Wikipedia, but Amazon customer service finally transferred me to tech support, who eventually told me something like "kindle fork does not support new security settings, and there is no way to fix it, and there won't be in the future because DX is no longer sold". And then added that "DX was unique and there is no replacement for it, new kindles that have web access are small screened [so I can't read on them], and even tablets with large screens do not have web access".

Is there a hack that changes Kindle's "security settings"?
