You just can't access them to read them on the device you bought to read them on.
Amazon is requiring you to buy another device - something to run the Kindle app on or something to access the cloud with. Doesn't matter that most people already have these other devices. Amazon should not mandate that you must have them. Or mandate that you must install Amazon software on them (an app) or use them to access an Amazon website. Following either of those paths opens you up to more Amazon tracking and control, and potentially security issues.
Simply saying "You can use something different to access your purchases" would be like a car manufacturer disabling your perfectly functional car and telling you to just use one of your other cars instead. Not everyone has multiple cars, nor if they do, desires to use one of them for a purpose which they did not buy it for.
