I have no opinion on whether it's a concerted effort on Amazon's part to strengthen their lock-in. It could just be unfortunate bad timing for all I know.. As I said in my letter to not-really-jeff-bezos: I have no problem with older devices being phased out. I just wish they would be more up-front about it, rather than having CS walk users through a factory reset and then suggesting they may have to upgrade to new hardware (when they know full-well the device won't be able to be re-registered). All I want is for them to publically announce exactly which older devices are on the can't-be-registered chopping-block so people can make informed decisions.
