But it is what it is and we cannot change it. But I have the solution for that issue: Amazon has to propose to all users of K1/K2/KDX to switch their devices for the latest version of Kindle, completely free of charge. And announcing that those who do not accept the proposal, they must accept that Amazon does not provide e-books for their old devices in the future. Of course, Amazon never will do that madness, but it would be a solution.
Giving users of these old Kindles a free upgrade to a new Kindle for free is going to piss off everyone who paid to upgrade. It would piss off me.

I agree that Amazon should say that some eBooks may not be available in Mobi going forward and if they want to make sure all Kindle eBooks are available, that they need to upgrade their devices. I don't mind if Amazon gives them $25 for an old 6" Kindle and $50 for a DX in trade for a working device. But a free trade? No way.
