Each individual component of that post was both illogical AND paranoid.

If you really want me to enumerate them...
  • This is a scheme to stop you from downloading and sideloading via USB? Just practically speaking, you do realize that that is a really inefficient way of doing so? They could nix the feature. But as it is, they haven't stopped you from updating and then downloading and sideloading via USB anyway.
  • You "must" deregister them? Who's gonna make you? Unless Amazon knows the difference between a non-updated and a broken Kindle. And if they don't care which one it is then they would just deregister for you rather than giving you the option.
