Amazon is offering $50 off a new Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis, with $15 in ebook credits to help ease the pain. Amazon supports Wi-Fi on all of its most recent e-readers, and the cellular-capable ones have 4G onboard. If your Kindle is about to become useless, Amazon does have some sympathy. While Amazon is ending support in 2021, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon will all wind down their pre-LTE networks in 2022. Carriers globally are slowly switching off their older 2G and 3G networks in a bid to free up the spectrum for the newer standards.

It’s not Amazon’s fault though, but is due to carriers switching over solely to newer 4G and 5G networks, leaving behind the 2G and 3G connections used by the old Kindle e-readers. From December 2021, some Kindles will no longer be able to use the cellular capabilities, potentially robbing them of connectivity entirely.
