Do you think this will affect all Kindles no longer receiving firmware updates?
The date will likely not be the April 22 cutoff for older K4PC installs or the older K4A installs cutoff of May 26 but the rumour is that Amazon will remove older eInk Kindles from being able to sync new books at some point in the fall (the dates mentioned seem to be random). So far, these rumours seem to lack any corroboration but given Amazon's pattern of behaviour, I would not be surprised to see owners of older Kindles getting an email that their devices will no longer to be able to download ebooks from Amazon with a cutoff date.
