At the moment, Kindles have a "closed door" policy towards NEW, incoming packets.
But as soon as we start changing that by allowing incoming service connections - -
Then the world will start trying to take advantage of that 'hole' in the firewall.

So I know I am preaching to the choir in the case of anyone who has run a computer service on the 'net.
But for those other folks, who don't know that they need it . . . .

For those who only have e-books on their Kindle, they might not mind if the world borrows a copy.
But for those who have PRIVATE information on their Kindle, this is a serious consideration.
