If they are serious, that means Kindle cannot hereafter accept scheduled feeds from Calibre, Instapaper, etc. I can't believe they would do this because it would make the Kindle worse, for people who read a lot of nonfiction articles, than competing WiFi enabled readers. Most tech reviewers are in the high-nonfiction-article consumption group, and so would pan their products (as would I). (Or am I wrong? Is there a Nook or Sony equivalent to free.kindle.com?)
I certainly am not going out my way to get this update, but I know they will push it down.
