In any case that will not affect their decision re: what format they send to PC. They could implement kfx at any time, regardless of the existence of legacy devices. One has nothing to do with the other. It's already implemented on iOS, I believe.
It has everything to do with what format they send it to the PC. Right now, my Voyage will get a KFX if I download direct to the device, but if I download the same book to my PC for USB transfer to my Voyage, I get azw3 format.

You still seem to think that I am talking about using the Kindle for PC program - I'm not. I haven't actually used that since Amazon introduced Cloud collections, as managing collections was the only thing I ever used it for.

Say it with me...KFX is not a problem.
