Some Kindles may lose internet connection, warns Amazon Web Report/Dubai Reuters Some older Kindles may soon lose their internet connection, Amazon warned on Thursday. The corporate giant warned that the first and second generation models of its e-readers might no longer connect to the internet to download new books. According to the BBC, this is because they did not come with wifi functions included and used only mobile internet. However, the slower 2G and 3G internet, which was used at the time, is being discontinued in several countries. Amazon says the first- and second-generation Kindle, as well as the Kindle DX, will lose all internet connection.
