Except this gave someone a date of February 25th. I hope you are right. My battery for kindle gen 4 is not working as well. So downloads to it nearly kill battery. It's 20 years old. Not bad for how long it's lasted.
Kindle 4 was released in September 2011, so a bit over 13 years old.

I have been downloading Available updates from my Amazon Content Library today just in case this happens. I have received no warnings.

For those who has been procrastinating I definitely recommend doing that. Once your books are downloaded you can always take your time in doing anything further with them.

I don't have any issues importing KFX from any of my Kindles, including Colorsoft (and of course these have color images).

This could change with some future firmware update.

If worse comes to worse I have a Kindle Touch.

Amazon already broke KindleforMAC to be able to remove DRM. You have to use the latest version and you cannot remove the DRM from the downloaded eBooks.

In my case, I have an old Kindle Touch that does not do KFX. So I get KF8. So I'm good for now.

But if Amazon really is closing D&T, why isn't everyone seeing the warning message? I don't see it at Amazon US & UK. Just be be doubly sure, I just tested D&T again at both Amazon sites and no message at all.

Could it be that Amazon has backed off and removed the message?

If you see this message about D&T going away again, please take a screen grab and attach it. Thanks.

I just downloaded something and saw no message. I have a lot of different kindles on my account, including some very old ones - maybe that is why?

I just checked and the message is still there for me. Screenshot is attached. The text is at the top of the list of Kindle devices in the window that opens once you click Download & Transfer

I just bought the 2024 Paperwhite when it went on sale recently but kept my 2015 Paperwhite and I don’t see that message. This is disappointing if this is permanent.

I'm also seeing this message on Amazon Canada as part of the device selection when using D&T via USB. <sniffle> Linked device is a PW4 (10th gen).

I wonder how slow their rollout of this will be. I just went in and did a download and transfer and had no such message. I'm in the US. I have 2 older devices still registered to my account...a K3 and a K4BNT (K5?)...along with an Oasis 3. Luckily I've been downloading all my Amazon books for years so I don't have to spend the next 2 weeks doing it.

Downloaded, DRM removed and safely backed up. I learned that lesson over a decade back when several sources where I purchased ebooks suddenly shut down. At least Microsoft gave enough warning that I was able to download and remove DRM for all but 2 of my .lit format ebooks.

Yeah, I'm mostly there. Almost. Kind of. Downloaded, de-drm, in Calibre. I also have most of the original files saved (non-drmed/pre-Calibre) in a separate folder.

I do need to be better about my backups in general though. That is a failing of mine. I need to give in and just pay for backblaze or something. I suck at follow through when it comes to connecting external drives and backing up or syncing.
