sideloaded fonts are still possible -- the feature that was never a feature, just a hack, is still hackable, but slightly differently.
The SD card and physical page turn buttons
are a feature to not have on new devices.
Amazon has not gotten rid of the dictionaries, last I heard, and has never supported apps. Screensavers were always a hack AFAIK. Nor do I know of Amazon ever supporting .doc -- it always required conversion.
@kacir,
calculator and chess are supported via hacks, but I highly doubt most ereader owners want or care about them. It makes no logical sense to expect them, except as community mods. I think the less of any device manufacturer who wastes development hours supporting this.
There is no good excuse to support a billion formats, either. Anyone who wants to sideoad weird formats should be using calibre. Why waste development hours providing substandard support for unusual formats, when you can support one format really well... and provide a free and extremely easy-to-use conversion system, i.e. send-to-kindle?
