this just means you can't purchase, borrow, or download new content for those devices through Amazon. And this was already the case for all the Kindles that don't have wifi, since they killed the "download & transfer via USB" option last year.

I'm sure the thought is that people will buy new Kindles - and I'm sure many people will, especially with the confusing way this news is being shared. But pre-2012 Kindles still work, just with no reason to buy books from Amazon. Seems stupid to me to turn away all the people that want to keep buying books but don't want to buy a new Kindle (and really there's several reasons to not, some of which might be accessibility issues for some people; for example they replaced the text-to-speech feature with a pitiful, cumbersome screen reader after they bought Audible), but I guess they're counting on people not being able to figure out they can keep using them.

That's interesting - I also know someone that gravitates towards and shares AI slop daily, that has mental disabilities. Worst part is, lately if we tell him it's AI (because he'll share stuff like "10 unexplained videos" and directly ask what we think it is, or ask why something happened in a video, or how something was done) he gets defensive, saying things like "not everything is AI!" He can't understand that because he's engaging with AI slop, the algorithm shows him more AI slop, so his feed is all AI slop now.

so this time limited access needs to be upfront not hidden and not will end when we fell like.
If they want to do this they need to say you are RENTING the game for at least X time and if they kill it before X time then they must refund you.
and if they say you are renting for at least 24 hours (just to be able to kill it at any time with no refunds) then the buy button must be labeled RENT 24H for the price.
