Urgh yeah Amazon is doing it again.....this isn't the first time Amazon has moved toward making Kindle more restrictive....

I am quite confident that the community around Calibre will find a way to access Kindle internal filesystem as the first step to copying and ultimately decrypting the content there and converting it to format enable elsewhere, but we can only hope.

"If you use a Kindle app on Windows" - "you are not affected"
That's encouraging.
