I don't think fate applies to Kindle for Windows Phone, which still exists in Microsoft Store as of today, and works with WM 10. I was hoping they'd replace Kindle for Windows 8 and Kindle for Windows Phone with a 'universal' app but that seems a low priority given that WM has not exactly taken off. Kindle Cloud Reader does not seem to work on my Windows Phone. I can open a book but cannot advance pages (the right-hand tap area is off-screen). This is something they should just fix, as it is just a matter of handling smaller screen (1280x800) properly. It does work with Edge browser (or Chrome, Firefox, I.E. etc.) on desktop systems.

Comixology pulled their Windows 10 app some months ago (for desktop & mobile). Their web reader works really well on desktop and also okay on my WPhone.

I don't use Windows to read very much and have no plans to 'upgrade' to Kindle for PC. The Windows 8 app works fine, given its relatively basic feature set.
