My opinion is that Amazon discharged its obligations (to the extent it had any) to those with WiFi-less devices with its very generous upgrade offer when it eliminated store access to devices up through the Kindle Keyboard. No device lasts forever or is supported forever. I can't imagine that those customers who are holding out with ancient tech are a profit source.
Amazon has toughened its language at the point of sale regarding buying only a license and rewrote its Kindle Store Terms of Use on December 31, 2024. So much of what's going on now in reaction to Amazon and Kindle books reminds me of a combination of head-in-the-sand and fingers-in-a-spouting-dike.
