Hm, not so sure.
There might be a logic:
1) economics: they want you to buy the new one
2) hardware/software: old kindles may be different in some respect and have problems running new features (especially native Adobe technology) out of the box
3) economics, again: if point 2) is at least slightly true, Amazon may find it uneconomic to "backport" the new firmware; if it is false, they may still claim it's true and therefore uneconomic or impossible to have new firmware running on old machines; so as to (make you, the customer) fall back to point 1).
I hope they make this firmware upgrade for oldies, but I do think there may be a logic if they don't.
