Yes, I hope they change their mind on that.

Why do they need to do that? There are already several ways to do that:
1- Copy your files directly to the Kindle via USB (.txt or .prc)
2- Convert them yourself using MobiPocket Creator and transfer them via USB.
3- Email them to Amazon for free conversion, then transfer them via USB (can't get more cross-platform than that!)

They only charge you for the convenience of wireless delivery. The conversion service is free if you are willing to transfer via USB (just like any other reader).
