There may well be a good business case for Amazon to end support for these devices. AFter all, there must be some cost involved in delivering the azw (mobi) format, and there are probably relatively few of these devices still being used.
The problem is the outright sneaky way in which this has been done. Common sense alone dictates a public announcement. What of someone who has bought one of these devices, no doubt very cheaply, and now can't register? A situation which could have been avoided with an announcement. What of those wanting to sell these otherwise still perfectly functional devices?
Jeff Bezos. You can and should do better than this.

I've seen things like this done. I've seen perfectly good computer hardware turned into scrap just because the company didn't want to write a new driver for a new version OS where the old driver was not compatible with the new OS.
