So what's does this do for me exactly? The text mentions

As of May 20, 2026, users of all Kindle devices released before 2013 will be completely cut off from the Kindle ecosystem. You will not be able to purchase, borrow, or download new content via the Kindle Store.

but says nothing about whether a jailbreaked Kindle will be able to download content from the Kindle Store. I sort of doubt it.

It actually does mention that you’ll no longer have access to online kindle services. You’d have to download ebooks from other sources.

But I can do that already without jailbreaking it
