Attention Kindle readers: Amazon may soon end support for your e-reader. Now, if you recently acquired a Kindle—recently meaning anytime in the past 10 years—you don't need to worry. But for anyone who is still rocking an older Kindle, you might be affected.

Luckily, you do have some options here. First, you can continue to use the Kindle Store for now, so if you like buying ebooks, you can load up your Kindle until it gets shut off. But the long-term option is to start "sideloading" (or manually uploading) your ebooks to your device. One of the most popular apps for manually managing your ebook library is Calibre, which acts like a sort of iTunes for ebooks. You can customize each book's data (such as choosing to swap out covers), and convert ebook formats to Kindle's proprietary AZW3. While there are certainly illegal ways to obtain ebooks and sideload them to your Kindle, there are plenty of legitimate methods to buying books like this as well. That way, you can still buy your ebooks, convert them to Amazon's format, then upload them to your Kindle, without having to unnecessarily upgrade your device.
