I can download Magic Catalog for Project Gutenberg but I can't download any books. I'm told Basic Browser can't establish a secure connection. I can't even download the mobiguide. I get the same result.
I spent hours chatting with Amazon in the worst customer service experience of my life and I've come away from it more confused than I went in.
Can the Kindle 2 only read files sent to it from the Kindle store?
Does Calibre no longer work with the Kindle 2?
My Kindle 2 isn't jailbroken. Does that mean it won't read sideloaded files?
Thanks for reading this far, even if you don't respond

Two of my sons use that model, one Jailbroken one not.
Can the 2 only read files Dld from amazon? No, it can read DRM free Mobi files and Text files.
Calibre works fine with the 2. I use it with my Sons'.
Doesn't have to be Jail broken to read Sideloaded books, they just have to be DRM free or DL'd from amazon for that particular Kindle (register it, and use the download to computer option, pick that kindle as the destination.)
I prefer using Calibre to load my books.
