To make all K3, 4, and 5 (and more?) stop working, just in their quest to force DRM, or walled garden, or whatever... that would shock me. I could imagine class action law suits if Amazon didn't give a very hefty discount on a new kindle - significantly more than the -20% +$5 you can currently get on trade-ins.
