Are there any figures for how many book buyers still rely on such older devices and would be disenfranchised?
I am thinking the only way they could do that is by offering a very cheap upgrade option for those people which 2ould be costly. Far more costly than what they lose due to ebook piracy ?
I don't think any kindle generation has been made obsolete yet ?

I do not think Amazon would impose KFX only for old Kindles able to handle KF8 but not KFX. That would piss off a lot of customers.
I think Amazon may be switching to KFX only delivery on devices/software that can handle KFX. I hope I'm wrong.
