After that, as kovidgoyal wrote, unless something changes you will need to own an e-ink Kindle device to gain usable access to your book files.
As to why, Amazon has been gradually taking steps to keep their customers locked into their ecosystem. The shrinking of the e-book developer community over time makes it less likely that workarounds for these changes will be forthcoming in the future.

Am concerned about this happening. As have no wish to have a kindle.
I already have a Kobo which is ok, but not often used.
Am always having to reset it and its very slow. Also their books are dearer.
Do my reading on my android tablet, where I can read a bit, look at the news, play solitaire etc etc.
Hope to still do so in the future then.
