Why is Apple being so unfair and imperious in disappearing our Kindle book purchases on Ipad2 as they no longer support Kindle 9. I have paid a lot of money buying Kindle books to read on Ipad2 and it always worked before. I have not had time to read all the books I have bought. Apple should find a way to get old Kindles back on Ipad2 or compensate us.
iPad, iOS 12
Again, you are incorrect. The App Store is telling you the app is no longer available for your device. The app is available for any iOS device running iOS 11 or higher. Amazon stopped supporting the app for iOS levels lower than iOS 11. Apple didn't stop Amazon. And since Apple doesn't own the code to the Amazon app, nor access to Amazon servers, Apple can't provide an app Amazon doesn't support on you aged iPad. If you have a computer or laptop, your books are still available to you. They just aren't available to you on your iPad.

You aren't getting it.
This isn’t Apple’s fault and Apple has nothing to do with this issue and is NOT responsible for anything that a third party app developer does or doesn’t do with their app.
Your issue is with Amazon. NOT Apple.
This is Amazon, alone, that has made this decision.
The message you get is just a generic Apple iOS App Store message that applies to any other apps with a similar situation.
This is NOT an Apple problem, but an Amazon one.
Apple has NO control, whatsoever, over what ANY third party app developers do.
Your “beef” is with Amazon, NOT Apple.
That stated,
I am not sure what your issue is, as I still have my older Kindle app on my iPad 2 and all of my purchased content.
Did you remove the Kindle app from your iPad 2 for some reason?
Assuming Amazon has left older versions of its Kindle app on Apple’ s iOS App Store servers, have you tried restoring your older Kindle app by going into the iOS App Store App and under Purchases, look for Kindle app in that list of apps and then tap the download “cloud” icon next to the app icon to see if you can re-download the older version of the app this way?
If you had the older version of the Kindle app before, already, then using this method should restore the app to your iPad 2, but only if the older version still resides hidden on Apple’s iOS App Store servers.
Best of Luck to You!
You're anger is completely misdirected. Apple didn't stop Kindle from supporting the lower iOS level on your iPad. Amazon who owns the Kindle app stopped supporting lower iOS levels. Just like Microsoft stopped supporting lower iOS levels. Apple doesn't control what 3rd party app developers do with their apps. The fact is your device is now over 8 years old, is unsupported, and more and more app developers will eventually abandon support to your device.
You can skip the criticism of my "anger" like you know. I am simply stating a fact. Apple Store gives a message that it is no longer supporting Kindle 9 on Ipad2 so if it's Amazon instead, as you say, that caused Apple to do this, then it is they who should find a way to get our purchases back on Ipad 2 or compensate us. It isn't fair to just delete our paid for Kindle books on Ipad2 with no "work around" given or warning.
Thank you.
