I love my Kindle, but if they manage to find a way to circumvent the tools, I'll be finding my books at other outlets.
And I don't see how they can migrate away from MOBI without abandoning all those users who are still using K1, K2 and K3 devices with no hope of firmware upgrades. Gonna piss off a *lot* of folks. And a lot of revenue will be lost.
Sigh.. Looks like I need to upgrade my K4Win (1.4.0). Just checked and I get the July date also.
