That's fair and I don't disagree, as far as it goes. But if Amazon is unwilling to deliver old formats to old devices, it comes out to the same thing in the end.
I was using an iPad Air 2 into last year, as my own anecdotal example. But the apps ceased updating and it no longer served its purpose, more's the pity, as I have no issue with old tech (in fact, I love it) so long as it works.
My own rule of thumb is that once a device is ten years old, it owes you nothing. I hope my Kobos aren't reading this!
