I'm sorry, but this argument is pure sophistry. You know as well as I do that the deal is a cheaper price in return for the ads. What you've done certainly isn't illegal but it is, to my mind, at the very least, unethical.
You're complaining that Amazon have locked down the Kindle, but it seems to me that you've brought this situation entirely upon yourself. If people didn't do things like 3G tethering, ad removal, etc, there would be no reason for lockdowns. As it stands, you have only yourself to blame.
