I figure my attitude is the same as most people that own kindles.
Note: you are really preaching to the choir here. The only thing most people will care about is can I read the book I just bought.

So it won't affect you; good for you and I'm not being snarky. But it will affect some, those who don't have a Kindle or only have newer ones. Why dismiss their concerns as being cranky?

The test of willpower will come if there's a new title I want that Kobo don't have. Will I be strong enough to just read something else?

Yes to both of these points. If there's a book I want to read right away and it's much cheaper at Amazon or they're the only purveyor, it won't kill me to read on an app. But otherwise? I'm certainly not going to spend good money on an ancient device just so Amazon can get more of my custom.
The bottom line, though, is that I don't really care. Amazon's about to make it sufficiently harder for me to read Kindle books than is worth the effort. So it goes. It's neither a right nor a necessity and I'll get along.
