You can still transfer files to your Kindle via USB. Just not your Amazon purchases.
Doesn't it make sense, from Amazon's point of view, to get rid of download and transfer? How many homes don't have wifi, or a smartphone for wifi (and have a wired internet connection)? They stopped the cell versions of Kindles, why not download and transfer?
