Or, of course, buy the ebook outright. That's even better
One won't be able to d/l any book after 5/20 for older Kindles, so how is the author to be paid?

What does a kindle hard float download have to do with a Fire tablet? Do remember that a Fire tablet is not a Kindle ereader.

By those reading on newer Kindles and devices running the Kindle app?

Recently I've noticed some authors who no longer publish their books on Amazon, but do publish on Kobo (often enrolling in Kobo Plus). True, not many - the vast majority probably can't afford to ignore Amazon.

One oddity is that just before the cutoff, I downloaded a KU book onto my PW1. I finished it and it is now marked as finished on Amazon.

You don't want the authors you like to get paid?
