I'm reminded of Humpty Dumpty in Through the Looking-Glass. I'll not be surprised if I can still send to the DXG (from My Content on Web page), which mysteriously can still get ebooks sent when you sync. I can't imagine why Amazon hasn't ceased the Cell contract, though 3G seems gone as it always uses EDGE enhancement of GSM 2G (245 kbps). Or maybe anything older than 5 years will be gone.

Yes the only hard facts we know at this time is that D&T is going away. I can--as of the time of this post--still git kindle books using my Kindle and Device View, with the KFX input plugin in calibre, this may change at any time.
I have not received the email just the notice on the My Content page.
Yes have been buying ebooks at Baen for over 20 years.

Scrolling down past the multiple pages of sdr folders, got him to the title_blurb_ASIN.kfx files which did work.
Now he is having fun using From KFX to convert the KFX to ePub which is going slowly since it only seems to allow selecting one book at a time.

Have him use Device View in calibre.

P.S.
I have averaged over 67 ebooks from Amazon over the last 15 years. That a third of the ebooks I buy in a year. I suspect that number to be smaller going forward.
