If they did that, then everyone that currently owns a Kindle would be unable to buy more ebooks from Amazon unless they bought a new e-reader*. That wouldn't be good for those consumers.
*Technically, those people could strip the DRM from ePubs and convert them to Mobi, or install Duokan, but it still wouldn't be a friendly thing for Amazon to do.

That is senseless and contrived conjecture avantman42.
Sure it is possible however unlikely that Amazon
might do any number of things, like one day filling every box that goes out that day, with a dead rat (that the exterminators killed) and sending it on out to their customers along with their orders so that Amazon doesn't don't have to dispose of the dead rats properly.
I think that you should stick to actions that have occurred rather than making up far fetched silly scenarios.
This is a serious thread.
