Did you check in Kindle settings for generation info and then google for year? I think I’m OK. I will say Woot.com has Kindles periodically and they usually priced right for me.

I didn’t. I will wait and see what happens, but…
They already dropped the Transfer Via USB option on the Kindle Unlimited books. That was bad enough, but there are ways around that. They’ve been known to delete books you’ve bought and paid for. They’ve been known to push, without your permission, “updated” versions of books you’ve already downloaded. That is why I have one Kindle I let go online to download books I can’t get elsewhere. Those are transferred to my computer and from there pushed to the other Kindles we have that NEVER go online and aren’t even registered. Those are the ones we actively use.
I am NOT a f an of Kindle as it is, but it was good when I first got them. If my current models ARE affected by this, I won’t be getting another Kindle. I’d rather build my own ereader then give them another dollar.

I was going to check to see if my Kindle is on the list but discovered I can’t find it. I much prefer paperbacks but I really need a Kindle for “just in case.”

Update: Just remembered I loaned it to my son. Now getting it back will be a trick.

I thought this short article was very good!
Dear reader, the Kindle was never really yours. Amazon just confirmed it | Books and Literature News - The Indian Express

I have been preaching this for three decades. You do not “own” anything that requires a remote server to be of any use. Physical media is yours. Even digital files that reside on your own hardware with no connection to a remote server are yours.
Calibre is an excellent software package. Especially if you have hundreds (or in my case thousands) of ebooks.
