Amazon is ending support for Kindle devices from 2012 and earlier - liliputing

Just like computers. You have to buy a new one.

Panzer was traveling around in the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was suddenly buffeted and shaken by crying and moaning outside. Following all the angst took our brave kitty boy to the liliputing site. There he discovered Amazon was the cause of the problems.

 

According to Brad Linder's post, Amazon is stopping all support for any Kindle devices made in 2012 or older. This means the devices will no longer work with the Kindle store.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty better get all 5,000 ebooks he bought downloaded on his Kindle NOW."

Panzer says, "This little kitty would like to know which genre translations are the most popular."

 

Note: This is a very, very, very, long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on.

A Panzerism

 Panzer on the Creator's creations:

 

The Creator only made a certain number of perfect creations.

 

Ones ...

 

with fur ...

 

with tails ...

See ... No thumbs.*

 

with pointy ears ...

 

and the extraordinary ability to purr.

 

The others he gave opposable thumbs.
