Yeah. My main concern now is what authors do I have that are Kindle exclusive and I'll have a hard time finding more books from them.
My thought: "if it's exclusive, oh well. There's lots of other books." Still stinks— there was one series I was interested in following.

You could just buy the books now, before 1.17 is cut off.

But any new books would be a no-go.

AFAIK Only if they were published after 3rd Jan 2023 - the rest are all right - for now.
Edit: sorry Jon - I misinterpreted “new book”.

Buy a cheap Kindle that supports KF8. That would solve your problem for now.
By doing that you are actually condoning Amazon's behaviour.

There are two choices. Forgo any new eBooks on Amazon and any you want that you cannot get anywhere else you'll not be able to buy or buy a Kindle to be able to keep buying from Amazon.

There are no other choices. So how do you buy Amazon exclusive eBooks any other place?

You can choose not to buy them at all.

You think Amazon cares whether you buy from them or not? They don't. They have millions of Kindle users who happily buy exclusively from them. The tiny minority who even know what DRM is and want to get rid of it doesn't count at all. We are just that, a tiny and insignificant minority.

Of course you can be true to your convictions and proudly refuse to buy from Amazon. Just don't think Amazon cares about your approval or disapproval. They don't.

Fixed income, unfortunately. I was planning to have a little splurge and acquire the series in a month or two when I got an Amazon gift card (long-term survey). Even if they don't expand the download restrictions, I don't really want Kindle to get any more money from me for trying to lock me into their walled garden.

You can buy print edition in most cases.

And you can stare at them longingly because you no longer read pBooks.

Which is fine if print books are an option for you, not so much if they aren't

Which is not an option for many. Some of us can't easily read print books.
