I think the answer here is similar to Amazon's "won't fix" :
"Can't fix". Sorry about that, but at least we gave some solid speculation as to why.
THANK YOU! Sorry to make you spend so much time on it. I didn't know about TLS, web-kit and security certificates. I'd buy a new kindle, but they do not sell e-ink ones with big screens anymore (I have bad eyes).

In the past kindle would sometimes ask "Security Certificate for this website is outdated, do you want to continue?", but even when I pressed "yes" it'd still say "Basic web is unable to establish secure connection". Now it mostly just displays the latter message right away.

The most quirky thing is that Wikipedia is still accessible from Yahoo search results, but not Google or urls, do you think that will last? If I do Yifan Lu's software upgrade to 3.1 would that make a difference?
