> 500 year support window

Err, no. Something “existing” is not the same as something being supported. Is the original printer still providing free translations to modern languages? Fixing typos and other mistakes? Adding chapters on a regular basis?

It’s kinda ludicrous to call the fact that a thing didn’t spontaneously disappear “support”.

And that fact is also true for all of the books on all of the discontinued Kindles.

Given, the kindle won't last 500 years, but the support window is in some senses longer than for those 500-year-old books, which never received a single security update.

I think it was a joke.

Like great jokes, it has a point.
