That just doesn't sound logical. And it's not. Amazon could kill KF8 in a heartbeat. They could kill MOBI in another heartbeat. And they could kill Download And Transfer for all books in yet another heartbeat.
This is not future proofing, it is speculating.
But, since old Kindles don't cost much, it may indeed be worthwhile speculation. If speculation fails - well, everyone can always use another paperweight or a gag gift to give out at a party.

We know you need an eInk Kindle registered to your account to be able to use Download and transfer for purchases. We also know that this Kindle is most likely bought just to download purchases. So it would be best (IMHO) to buy a Kindle where you can sync KF8 and be able to copy from the Kindle and remove the DRM. My feeling is that if Amazon was to drop Download and transfer, they would do that sooner then they would stopping support for Kindles that do not handler KFX.
So buying a KF8 Kindle older then a PW1 is the best option (IMHO).
