Amazon will stop support for Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets from 2012 or earlier starting May 20, preventing users from buying, borrowing or downloading new books. Owners can still read previously downloaded content, but deregistering or factory resetting the devices will render them unusable. The company is offering discounts to encourage upgrades.
Amazon announced a software update for its Kindle Colorsoft and Scribe Colorsoft devices, introducing dark mode and enhanced drawing tools. The update allows users to toggle dark mode for specific menus, such as libraries or notebooks. It began rolling out on April 28, 2026.

Amazon has rolled out a new AI feature called Ask this Book for Kindle users in the US, allowing them to get contextual answers about books without spoilers. The tool is available on the iOS app for thousands of English best-selling titles. It responds based only on the reader's current progress in the story.
