As do I.  I've sent my views to Amazon via their
kindle-feedback@xxxxxxxxxx
address and I encourage all of you to do the same. Until we have equally accessible replacements, this is quite a loss, especially for those not on the IOS platform.

Amazon has not officially confirmed this, but the Digital Reader reports
that our beloved KK has likely been pulled from Amazon's stock; see
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2013/05/17/did-amazon-kill-off-the-kindle-keyboard/#more-51470 

I went to Amazon's site and see that the KK is only available via
third-party sellers, the cheapest one currently going for around $99.
Am I surprised?  Not really.  I am assuming that the main reason for why
Amazon kept the KK around was due to its accessibility.  However, we now
have a fairly accessible IOS app and, supposedly, the larger Fires have
some accessibility, which Amazon claims will make its way into the
smaller models.  We'll see.
