If you have books on Amazon and you want them to be on any device besides Kindle, download them soon.

Huh, I didn't know you could do that. Where do you go to get to the downloads?

Are they ending the ability to upload files to Kindle too?

The day they do that is the day I move on to another e-reader. Like hell I'll pay for books I already have in physical.

You go to your Amazon account to find your book purchases. You can still load the books onto kindle, but nowhere else, so you're locked in to the kindle ecosystem. The guy in the video explains it better than i can.
