SAN FRANCISCO ¨C For Claudia Buonocore, the thought of parting ways with her 15-year-old Kindle Touch e-reader is painful.
¡°I¡¯ve never felt the desire to have another device,¡± said the 39-year-old Pittsburgh area resident. ¡°It¡¯s a part of me, a lifesaver, I fall asleep with ?it almost every night.¡±
Buonocore and other Kindle users face an unwelcome change. Amazon last month said it would ?end support ?for e-readers released in 2012 and earlier, preventing users from downloading new books or receiving software ?updates after May 20.
