It never occurred to me that the headline meant anything other than Whispersync, which uses 2G/3G bands.

Kudos to you?

Clearly, a lot of people felt like the headline was misleading.

I think a lot depends on whether you actually had one of those early generation kindles or not. I saw the headline and figured it was about WhisperSync and guessed it was probably due to sunsetting of the cellular networks and not Amazon turning off a feature to get people to upgrade.
