Amazon reportedly offering free Kindle Oasis and Fabric Cover to First-Gen Kindle owners

Old Kindle models with 3G support will not be able to connect to cellular networks starting from December this year. The change will primarily impact users in the US where carriers are phasing out 2G and 3G starting from the end of 2021. 

Extending a sweat gesture, Amazon is upgrading the first generation Kindle K1 owners in the US to the latest Kindle Oasis (10th gen) for free. According to screenshots shared by a Reddit user, Amazon’s expensive fabric case cover is also bundled along. 

The offer shows up in the Amazon app and reads as follows: 

“Thank you for being one of our earliest customers, and for still reading on your Kindle 1st generation device.”

Kindle models that will lose internet access include Kindle (first generation), Kindle (second generation), and Kindle DX (second generation). These devices don’t have Wi-Fi, so owners will only be able to read existing content or probably side-load ebooks and documents.  

Amazon has also sold Kindle models with 3G connectivity starting from the second-generation Kindle Paperwhite that launched in India in 2014, but these models also have Wi-Fi connectivity and consumers will still be able to download and purchase new books and frankly won’t be missing out on much. 

Kindle models with Wi-Fi that will lose 3G connectivity include Kindle Keyboard (third generation), Kindle Touch (fourth generation), Kindle Paperwhite (fifth generation), Kindle Paperwhite (sixth generation), Kindle Paperwhite (seventh generation), Kindle Voyage (seventh generation), and Kindle Oasis (eighth generation).

The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
