Amazon's (and the Kindle's) only formats have been Topaz and mobi. Amazon has never dropped support for either of these (as much as one might dislike Topaz).
Read more carefully. KF8 is intended to replace Mobi. Next-gen Kindle probably won't support Mobi at all. And last-gen Kindle won't support KF8. But *most* Kindle-owners have a last-gen Kindle.

They may be implying a short period of dual-conversion, but this is irrelevant when one's existing collection won't work on their next device, or their future options won't work on their current device.
