Hi all!
Thank you very much for your work with Kindle. You do really good and useful job. I'm writing here as to prominent experts on the subject.
I'd like to block some IP addresses on my Kindle 4 NT, generally i'd like to block access to the site Amazon.com. I checked traffic when Kindle connects to internet - it use only ip-addresses, so the hosts file is useless. I don't know Linux, so i'm afraid to do it by myself. So, I'd like to ask your advice - what should i do to block Amazon's addresses 72.21.192.0 - 72.21.223.255?
The line should look something like this, right?

Code:

ip route add blackhole 72.21.192.0/19

How to write it to the file to save this routing after reboot?
I would appreciate if you help.
thank you guys.
