Could be either. They weren't supporting anything older than 2014 according to the notice. So 5 years is going to be Kobo's limit for support. Amazon continues to support the Kindle 3 which I believe came out in 2009. 10 years. Heck, there was support for the Sony up until last year and that came out when? 2005? It's true that a lot of people don't see what the problem is - 5 years for an ereader, but clearly many last much longer than that. Forced planned obsolescence or just a bad choice of early software?
