I'm not 100% this is the case. Have they stated otherwise all legacy devices would no longer be supported? They expect all e reader makers to upgrade to the new version?

What it will affect is newly purchased ebooks. At some point (undetermined, but probably withing the year), new ebooks will be forced to use the new DRM and will be unreadable on older devices, unless they get a firmware upgrade.

A firmware upgrade might work. I've read a couple of other articles on the subject and I guess the issue is that no one seems to know. Nate (the digital reader) linked to this article yesterday:

It's convoluted, but it just sounds like a big fat red mess.
