As you said, they still need to support older ereaders, like the K1 and K2.
(Not sure if K3 and K4 support KFX.)
Even once KFX is cracked, I will still prefer KF8 for archival since the content of that format is much closer to what the publisher provides to Amazon.

To me the Kindle models that support KF8, but not KFX are the best choice. Examples are the K3, K4 and PW1. With older models than these you will receive the inferior MOBI format and with newer devices you run the risk of Download-for-USB being changed to deliver KFX. I think that owning one of these is a safe bet for the next few years, given that Amazon hasn't yet dropped support for any of the older Kindle hardware.
