I really hope this isn’t true. I would understand the AI features not being available on the older models, but the new homescreen layout or cloud integration? That’s just insane. The homescreen on the kindles is literally some JavaScript and HTML.

Now obviously we don’t need the new system wide dark mode as the older scribes already have that basic feature.

It does link to an Amazon help page so I’m hoping the language in the help page means “it’s only on these models for now because we haven’t backported the software yet” instead of “it’s not coming at all”. The 2022 and 2024 scribes are not that old in terms of kindles AND they are still in their software support window as well. Those devices were also crazy expensive at launch as well.
