There is no reason to think your purchases on Amazon would suddenly not be available anymore just because they don't support the amz format. Could you imagine the backlash?

I can imagine it very clearly because Amazon pulled this stunt before when it cancelled its previous foray into ebooks. A lot of people lost access to their books then due to DRM. I have hitherto been half-hearted about selling my DX, but now I think I may go whole-hog in attempting to sell it off.
