The ability to purchase books using the device is a key feature.

[{"selector":"#anim-e4d14722-62ba-4452-8d7e-f102d38f847b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.721667388788493%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Despite the fact that you can still send files to the ereader, this is a fairly significant feature.

[{"selector":"#anim-8209a98f-4ee1-402c-ace7-503aa039f8e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The fourth and fifth-generation Kindles are affected.

[{"selector":"#anim-0b7ccd3e-448c-46e7-993d-68da5672a742 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.721667388788493%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Your ereader can still be used to read books while on the go thanks to the Kindle Store workarounds.

[{"selector":"#anim-422f8f05-0d73-4688-b5e5-e91dc59bf320 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

If you do possess a dated Kindle, there might be additional justifications for an upgrade.

[{"selector":"#anim-67653207-7896-4eaf-9b79-8b0848fd21ef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.721667388788493%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Devices' batteries can deplete over time, so you may not get the same number of weeks of reading as you once did.

[{"selector":"#anim-b7f231a4-73c9-49e3-94c4-6c3df29ff521 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.721667388788493%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

To benefit from the newest features, updating to a newer model and buying a new one is necessary.
