Critically, while they wont appear as drives, they will appear as MTP devices (the same way Android phones do) and will still allow you to transfer files. The communication protocol is different, but "New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers" isn't true unless your OS of choice doesn't support MTP.

Ok, but can you still transfer your own books through MTP?

Yes, including EPUB files

It must have been a slow day at the news office. Literally nothing special to write about, so this article was slapped together.
