Either way; it's still newsworthy if Amazon has indeed ended the ability to download files for USB transfer to a K1 (given that the K1 is still registered to your account, of course). That would be new. But it still wouldn't be the end of the world as long as ebooks can still be purchased from the K1 (or delivered to the K1 via whispersync). If they can't, then that means the K1 has been officially retired as a supported device. I'm not saying that's impossible, but I find it hard to believe that such a thing would be done quietly.
