Maybe the only remaining use for a DXG is Topaz?
It's not gone: every Kindle and Kindle app in existence today knows how to render them.

The only exception I know of is Kindle for Web; probably the defunct Windows Phone/RT/8 app and webOS apps didn't either.

One might think a large publisher like Springer would remove their Topaz titles and replace them with ones using newer format.

Well they have added listing for the newer format, but at least for one I checked, neglected to remove or change the one for Topaz.

The Topaz version (works on every Kindle or Kindle app) will set you back $89, the Print Replica version (Kindle apps only) is $39.49.
