So yes, if you get a new Kindle, you're going to have to go into your archive and "re-download everything" (if you want all of your past purchases on your new device).

Semantics, I know.
If that is the case then everyone has to redownload everything. I doubt that Sony has it set up that when you download a book it goes to all your Sony devices.

"When your kindle 1 dies, you'll be stick with losing all you book, or getting an other kindle... Too bad if you fell like changing."

What the OP of that post was saying was that if you had books on a K1 and you got rid of the K1 you would not be able to read those books on a K3. This is not correct. Kindle accounts are set up so that multiple e-readers can be used on them and everyone on that account has access to those books. You do not lose access when you change devices.
