I have also just received the email notification in the US.

I saw one piece of new information on Engadget (Amazon is cutting off support for older Kindles):

Quote:
Amazon also told Engadget that this only affects approximately 3 percent of its current users, whom it’s now urging to upgrade.
3% of what, I am curious. Is that of all Kindle users? Does that include those using the Kindle app on portable devices?

In any case that actually seems like a high number of customers with currently working devices to be cutting off!
