I just wanted to add that the choice may be publisher-driven.
Amazon may be tired of receiving complaints from some publishers about the ineffectiveness of their DRM. They might in the future allow publishers who want stronger DRM to have their books only be made available in KFX format. That would cut them off from access to customers with older devices, but some publishers may believe that it's worth it. Publishers of expensive school textbooks, for example.
