Specifically:
For anyone else who's confused at the title
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
Ya I thought it was talking about advertising them or something
We could only hope.
