That's a very odd definition of "official" unless you think you *are* Amazon.

Obviously you do not understand the meaning of end-of-life. EOL for a Kindle is when a company (Amazon in this case) will not release firmware with any bug fixes, enhancements, and new features. Yes, the PW3 is still usable. But the fact that Amazon has not release the two latest firmware versions for the PW3 is proof enough that Amazon has EOLed the PW3. Feel free to prove otherwise.
My Sony Reader PRS-T1 is EOL by Sony. Does it still work? Yes. Can I use it to read eBooks? Yes. Is it EOL? Yes. Same with my nook STR. It's EOL and I can read eBooks with it.
EOL does not mean that something is no longer usable.
