Unlock the Bootloader: Save Millions of Amazon Fire Tablets from Landfills

The Issue

Amazon makes millions of Fire tablets. They are durable, well-built pieces of hardware. But when Amazon decides a tablet is 'old,' they kill it—and force us to throw it in the trash.


We are calling on Amazon to release a 'Legacy Unlock' tool for devices that are no longer receiving software updates. Let us install modern, secure operating systems to keep our devices running.


Keep e-waste out of our communities, protect our investment, and respect our right to own the hardware we bought.
