Personally I'm not sure if the whole issue is enough to never make me buy another Kindle or not, but it sure is a strong reason to think twice before doing so. I'm not interested in jailbreaking and I don't want to use KOReader (yes, I've tried it; it has a couple of serious flaws that make it very unattractive for me), so the only reason I'd buy a Kindle again would be some stellar hardware that trumps anything competitors offer. We'll see.

I agree with both points and I'm not making a point for anyone who doesn't own a Kindle to buy one--or another one, far from it. I just meant that as far as I'm concerned, these issues are easily solvable--less so if jailbreaking, or using KOReader, or staying offline aren't options. For me, the Kindle was cheap, good hardware, coupled with stellar software (KOReader), and jailbreaking was in the cards from the get go.
