Implication duly noted. Thanks!
Again, your argument was that Amazon was pissing off a tiny group of people who hadn't upgraded from ancient devices despite a very nice incentive when they were obsoleted. So that's not what you really were saying; it was some convoluted attempt to disguise the motives of the vast hordes who use download and transfer despite not having an ancient device by playing the violin for those who do.
Anyway, to address your assertion, it doesn't benefit me. I stopped downloading Kindle books eons ago.* I can't be the only one and I assume the vast majority of Kindle customers never did. The mantra here at MR is that anyone who doesn't back up their purchases is a chump (which would also apply to me). So.... I don't get it. Purchased books have been backed up and now it's time to buy elsewhere? Fun to talk about, though, and it's always good to know what's going on.
*I still buy them, as recently as this morning on the last day of the bonus points promotion.
