New Kindles Not Showing Download and Transfer Option

Nathan, on The eBook Reader Blog:

As people are getting the new Kindles that were released last week, they are finding out that the new models are mysteriously missing the download and transfer via USB option for purchased ebooks from the content page at Amazon. | […]
Granted, this isn’t going to affect that vast majority of Kindle users, but there’s a subset of people that like to download their purchased ebooks to make backups and to remove the DRM to read the ebooks on other non-Kindle devices.

A non-issue for most Kindle users, but count me out of returning to a new Kindle device s any time soon.

My plan is to keep my old Kindle Voyage around, and try to hold Amazon accountable for their support of these devices as much as possible.
