My buying habits will not likely change so long as I can continue to download kf8 or older formats from which I can remove DRM. I have older Kindles which do not currently handle kfx registered so expect no problems for some time, but who knows? At the moment, even though my Oasis supports kfx, when I download from Amazon for transfer by USB for this device, I still currently get kf8 or older. So far as I'm aware Amazon does not currently have an option to download kfx for transfer via usb, so even newer e-ink Kindles registered to your account will allow you to download the older formats. at least for the time being.
Whether I change my buying habits if kfx becomes the only format available and drm cannot be removed depends on the alternatives. I would then buy from Kobo and others, assuming that they continue to supply files which play nicely with Alf. However, don't forget the spectre of Adobe's new drm which continues to haunt us, and, like kfx, remains Alf-proof. The nightmare scenario for us few who care is that there will again be a period where it is impossible to remove drm from any major format.
In this case I will probably stick with KU and library books.
