I do not foresee Amazon doing away with Download & Transfer by USB any time soon. My reasoning on this is that Amazon has a contractual obligation to provide drm free downloads to several publishers plus all the independent authors who clicked that little drm free box when they uploaded ebooks.

Now IMHO they have violated that obligation with putting kfx drm on all Kindle4PC downloads, but that is just my opinion.

I can see Amazon start using KFX for Download & Transfer by USB that do use drm.
