You are simply incorrect here.

There was no migration path. Everyone lost access to their DRMed ebooks from Amazon once they had to move from their originally authorised installations. (Which happens fairly quickly with computers at the moment.)
Well, I stand corrected. Still, they in fact COULD read the books on their original devices. That's not nothing. I'm going to dig into this some more, because frankly, it seems very unlike Amazon to simply say "FU" to its customers like that.
In the one example I saw where someone had trouble with Amazon DRM, Amazon refunded the customer.
I'm going to look into this, but I 'm betting that Amazon either offered a refund or offered to let the customer download the books again in the new format on proof of payment.
Stay tuned.
