Crap, I've had a Kindle for years, I'm still pissed at them over Dash buttons - instead of just stopping support they changed their setup site so it would bricked them. I still have half a dozen uninitialized ones I can never use now. Fuck you, Bezos, and the giant stick up your ass you rode in on.

Have to check if this means I can only read while online now, or if I can just turn off networking and keep the books I already have.
