I'm sure notimp understands this just fine. I think the point he is making is that Amazon could 'fix' this loophole overnight if/when they choose to. All they have to do is release a new version of Kindle4PC which incorporates the (currently) separate KFX renderer .exe into the main Kindle.exe and the renaming loophole is closed. Similarly, they could also make old versions of Kindle4PC obsolete just as quickly. They've done it before.

I agree with him about KFX, IMO it's an abomination for ebook collectors who want permanent freedom to sideload to their app/device of choice. There, I just put my head above the parapet.

No use if you don't own an ancient Kindle. Even then, those old batteries won't last forever.

The whole thing looks like Boiling Frog Syndrome to me.
