I've got an old Kindle (mobi only files) which is in permanent airplane mode. When I buy a new ebook from Amazon, I use the Kindle Reader programme v.1.39.2. This lists my bought books and lets me download them to my pc (KFX). From there, I can import to Calibre, De-DRM and convert to mobi.

Am I right in thinking that the "lets me download them to PC" bit is going to be stopped? Or is this only being halted as an option on the Amazon site itself (at least at present)?
