Well if it's true that Amazon are going to disable transfer via usb, then many others will be jumping ship with you, me included.
I bought an ebook from Amazon uk today. Transfer via usb was available on the product page, but didn't work - they tried to send it wirelessly. I had to go to contents and devices in order to successfully download to my laptop.
There's a whole other thread about this annoyance.
