Last March there was going to be a blackout to old Amazon devices that had not been updated. The owners of these devices received emails, announcements and even phone calls for many days to update their devices. And surprisingly, after several months after the blackout, Amazon keeps sending its alert emails.
The emails are correct and true and not only one user has talked about them but there have been several; On the other hand, the dates are exact, they are not expired emails or those that refer to before the blackout. Which has caught the attention of many. Supposedly after March 22, Kindle users who have not updated their eReader would not be able to use Wi-Fi, something that seems not to be happening or should not happen if the update really did. what he did. Many users wonder why this is happening. Others think it is because Amazon does not know the number of devices that are active nor the ones that really work.
Amazon devices continue to work hence the emails that are sent
Personally, I think that Amazon has serious problems with the team that develops its software, problems that we are seeing in its more advanced devices such as tablets or streaming devices and this means that the latest updates are not as effective as they should be. On the other hand, old updates are susceptible to being compromised, pirating your ebooks or being a problem for your store.
And these last two options are surely what are causing Amazon to encourage its customers to update their devices. So it seems that this recommendation is due to security issues and no functionality problems ... Although if Amazon applies what it says, we can always update manually Do not you think?
