They were cut off from the store some time ago, and now they can no longer download e-books either: Amazon is rolling back support for older Kindles.

    As far as I know, it might still work with Calibre

      This is about the Kindle Store. Calibre will continue to work, it just copies files via USB, you don’t even need Calibre for that.

        Can books be transfered via USB even on the 2013-era Paperwhite? I’ve always used the email feature in Calibre-web to send books to my Kindle (even for books I’ve paid for) - I didn’t realise it was doable over USB!

          Have a Kindle Paperwhite (1st gen). Have send over USB, through Calibre - software, never used the web one -, books and documents in various formats. Never had an issue.

          Yes, it’s basically just a USB drive, no special software required.

            You can even plug em into your phone and transfer from there, super handy on the go.
