Their desire to avoid obsoleting older Kindle devices is currently holding them back, but as those slowly go out of service Amazon may be able to justify it, especially if they offer a generous trade-in allowance.
So if they do this, how do you think that they will handle download for USB? I can't see them getting rid of it, as there are still places that don't have available wifi.
