I can foresee some people not buying from Amazon anymore because of this D&T move.

I can foresee the move might prompt some people to buy the eBook from Amazon so the author/publisher gets paid - ignore downloading the file from Amazon and DeDRM-ing it themselves - and instead download it DRM-free from elsewhere.

I can foresee some people will never notice any difference - they never heard of or used D&T before.

I predict that the majority of Amazon's customers will fall into the third group above.
