so at that point, buying the latest kindle will mean it receives some " KFX2 " format that will be uncrackable for a while ?, and there will be a scramble for older models
a bit like printer wars, where suddenly a firmware upgrade forces you to stop buying compatible inks, or to go source an older printer.
hopefully it it technically difficult to push such a kindle firmware update without making books on already device unreadable, and that may slow down such plans
AFAIK it is a lot harder to stop you kindle from updating, yet still have book downloads & whispersync working, than it is to block K for PC updates
