Stop comparing apples to oranges.
Amazon is not unique in stopping active development of old models of fill-in-electronic-device-here.
Amazon is unusual in making sure every device they ever sold still works as intended, even once active feature development ceases. There are reportedly still Original Kindle owners who still use those Kindle without problems.
Could you get any further from the truth?
For example, you are aware Amazon still creates mobi7 versions of all their books? Specifically for the pre-KindleKeyboard devices, as the KK and on all support KF8?
