I don't think it will happen that way. The books in my Kindle Library are all still there years later and I suspect that books you borrowed using KU will still be there a few months later too: you'll still have to return them first before you can borrow more.

I do love this KU idea but I've been spoiled by the bigger, higher resolution Aura HD screen and its ability to customize the page to make reading much better. I still use my KPW1 to read Kindle Singles but it's not a comfortable experience and I don't want to try to read book-length text on it anymore.

But who knows, Amazon might update the Kindle to state-of-the-art and then I'll have to decide: buy a new Kindle? Just to use KU?
