It is a shame. I love my newest Kindle (Colorsoft with no yellow, etc.) and use it more than my Libra Colour. For now, I will continue to do so. However, I will most likely buy books from Kobo only after the 26th. Unless of course a simple way of freeing new Kindle books is discovered. The only problem I will have from that point on is those books that I want to read that are available only on Amazon.

I agree. I think everyone here on Mobileread knew this was coming. I just went over to the dark side and purchased the Colorsoft, after BN disappointed me once again with the discontinuation of the Nook for Windows app.
I'm not sure what my future holds. I will certainly decrease my purchasing from Amazon, but there are some authors I like that are exclusive to Amazon. Since I was determined not to purchase a reader without buttons and then talked myself into the Colorsoft, I know better than to make concrete predictions of my future actions. LOL
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I have not talked myself into purchasing a Kobo. Maybe this will push me over the edge. Time will tell. I have more than enough books to last the rest of my life, so I'm OK.
