This would mean you're no longer able to control your own library if you don't have an old reader lying around. (And eventually, support for those will be stopped as well.)
If a format has unremovable DRM, I will NEVER buy anything in it.

Well since at Amazon, it is up to the publisher to decide whether a book has DRM, the format doesn't matter.
If a publisher says DRM then all their ebooks sold will have DRM. If a publisher says NO DRM then none of the formats will have DRM.
KFX is one format. I am pretty sure that Amazon isn't going to screw over their customers.
Look Jeff didn't get to be as big as he is by screwing his customers.
Someone give me proof that Amazon is making one format for every book ever published.
And that Amazon will be the only place to get ebooks.
Just because the hackers can't manipulate it, does not make it bad.
Now document your accusations with proof.
Please.
