I'm aware of that. But I'll not buy an old Kindle just to be able to download Kindle e-books that I then can import into calibre. Because I'm very sure that option is going to be cut sooner or later anyway. When I buy the Kindle PW Signature, I'll use it to actually read books.

Currently I own about 6000 e-books. 5000 +/- are Kindle e-books already. Most oft them I bought while they were also part of KU resp. published through a Amazon owned publisher. I never had KU, because I don't want to "lend" books and the restricitions about only being able to lend 10 books at the same time, never worked for me. The other 1000 e-books are epubs from the Kobo store, B&N and local book stores.

Any new kindle e-books that I will buy (and I have pre-orders up to next year actually), will be on the Kindle PW instead of the Kobo. I'm sure I'll get used to the Kindle book management just like I got used to the calibre book management. As long as I can sort the books on Kindle in collection based on the authors name, I'll be fine.

It's also true, that I had several Kobo up and die on me, so I know they are not perfect either.
