If Amazon dumped the Kindle line, then I can see eBook sales going down. Amazon would no longer have the clout needed for these contract disputes with the big publishers. Also, I can see KU tanking.

Amazon is dumping the K1, K2, DX, & DXG because they don't have WiFi. I'm hoping that means Amazon also drops Mobi.

Heck, I'm still able to download eBooks using my Kindle Touch.
