Until we get more information saying that KF8 cannot do what Amazon is trying to do, then I'm still of the mind that KFX is an attempt to keep people living in a new walled garden.

Hasn't every kindle format been a nudge toward a more walled garden (along side any other book related features they wanted to add). Kfx is just the latest and so far tallest wall.
They have the best garden, their customers largely agree with them and are happy to stay there. They're going to leverage their advantage to gain more advantage.
What else do you expect them to do?
