Editing Hosts File to block telemetry

I am planning to either SSH into my kindle or use a terminal emulator to edit the hosts files of my kindle paperwhite in order to block telemetry from amazon.

My question is, is this a bad idea? I would think that this would be the best way of stopping telemetry from my kindle device
