it's about Amazon not having disclosed this artificial end of life at the time of the purchase
That depends on whether you consider store access "core functionality". The devices still work, your existing purchases on the device are still there, and you can still load book onto them manually. And that doesn't even get into jail breaking and alternate store options.
It's an ereader, it still functions as an ereader, and you can still add new books, just not through the Amazon store. Sure seems like the "core functionality" is intact.
