Calibre is better than Amazon for ebook access anyway.

I have a Gen 1 Paperwhite and didn't receive this notice.

Aren’t most of these already partly deprecated 5 years ago when 3G wireless shut down (in the us).

I replaced my kindle back then

(Worried about getting hit over the head with irony here so I had to check that “new”kindle: Amazon says its eleventh generation paperwhite so I’m well clear)
