It doesn't really affect me, as I don't have any of the devices that
allow download in the first place. Back in the day, I used the Calibre
plugins on the old azw files that you used to get, but that went away
some time ago.

For the most part, I've moved away from Amazon to Kobo, which gives you
epub files that you can download. You can use Calibre to convert epubs

I still get azw/azw3 files as I still use the 2011 "Kindle Keyboard"
device.  The new ones don't have an aux jack, plus Calibre decrypt
still works.

Still no email from Amazon about this.
