I do not think Amazon will do away with Download&Transfer for KF8 any time soon, to do so would put it in legal jeopardy from both publishers and authors who have specified no drm. I can also see some attorney filing a class action in that case on behalf of ebook buyers. At this time Amazon can claim to be following the letter of such agreements but they surely are not following the spirit of them.

The above applies only to purchased ebooks only.
