Question New Kindle Voyage
I found a brand new, still unopened in its box Kindle Voyage eReader, complete with a brand new, still unopened in its box charger in my storage.

I haven't had an Amazon account in almost four years now as I had Amazon close it. Is there any point in trying to use this Kindle Voyage, or should I just toss it? I imagine that it's not supported any longer.

The Voyage is still supported in the sense that you can download and read your Kindle ebooks on it. It no longer receives software updates. And of course you can sideload ebooks in various Kindle formats to it.

The Voyage has its fans. You could probably sell it.

You can still sign into an Amazon account and read books from the kindle store or USB load books.

This is still the only Kindle with the best laminated screen! Only gripe is that it is missing a warm light.
Your options are:
1) Sell it unopened for a fortune on an auction
2) Use it as is with Amazon account
3) Jailbreak it and use with KOReader to read books without DRM.

There's a fourth option - read sideloaded books without jailbreaking, converting them with calibre.

And a fifth option - read sideloaded books in a format the Voyage supports (for example, download from Guttenberg); no need to use calibre.

When I first saw the thread title I thought it was going to be a rumor of a new Voyage model.

You don't need to jailbreak to read DRM free ebooks on it!
