They're now cutting out people who bought books to read on other platforms, which, no matter how small, reduces their income. With the cost of living what it is, buying a kindle to read books or a new phone or tablet to use their app is not always feasible. I know a lot of people who use old epub readers because they still work and have the sideload ability the new readers removed.
This is, IMHO, really shortsighted of the company, and just makes a lot of people (myself included) hate them more and look for other places to buy.
