I realize some people might not have an Amazon device and were purchasing books from Amazon's website to read on a Kobo or other app. Without D&T they'll have no means of getting a copy of the book. I get that. But for people who do have a device, won't we be able to continue to use Calibre to save copies of our purchases?

Because Amazon could harden their DRM for KFX files any moment and then we would no longer be able to deDRM them. D&T delivered AZW3, an older format with more easily decrypted DRM.
