    The Kindle Cutoff: When “Still Works” Isn’t the Whole Story

    Amazon is ending support for older Kindles, and plenty of people aren’t happy. On the surface, it feels unnecessary if the devices still work, but in my view that only tells part of the story. Once you look beyond what you can see, the decision starts to make a lot more sense.

    State of Play: April 2026

    In this April 2026 update, I reflect on a quarter that didn’t quite go to plan but still delivered solid progress.
