For me, no. For others, well, they get to decide.

Amazon used to be quite good. I realize they are trying to completely take over the eBook and audiobook market. Thus their move here to further lock eBook purchases to Amazon devices. But over the last few years they have gone downhill in most everything else they sell too. You really have to watch what you buy there now - they sell so much CCC these days.
If you don't have a Kindle that does not handle KFX, there is no reason at all to buy a Kindle from Amazon as you'll get KFX and you most likely won't be able to remove the DRM.
