This seems somewhat concerning. This change was originally described as a "programming error." Given that it apparently has persisted for 3 versions, it seems to have become rather permanent.

I wonder if this is more about of cutting off Calibre access. Perhaps they realized that Calibre could affect their total control of Kindle owners, and reduce their revenue.

The recently announced U.S. antitrust actions will probably open up price competition for ebooks. I would like to be able to buy the cheapest version, and know I can convert it and have it run on my Kindle, or any other reader I choose to own.

Hmmmm...
