There are already lots of KFX-only books. All books in Arabic, Indian languages, and Traditional Chinese are KFX only. None of those books can be download for transfer via USB. Those customers live with that restriction and I have not heard of much fuss over it.

If that was extended to a larger set of books I suspect that there would be relatively few complaints and most of those would be from people who want to use the download as a step toward DRM removal and escape from Amazon's ecosystem. I am not sure how much Amazon would care about that.



This is all speculation. Amazon is slow to change and likes to avoid pissing off customers so perhaps I am reading more into this than I should.
