Ok I have to add your being just a little bit paranoid here.

You could go buy a kindle and download darknet books and add them eveyday of the week, you could add hundreds, thousands of them without buying a single legit book and Amazon couldn't and wouldn't do anything about it.

When you download a copyrighted book your breaking a civil law and it's upto the copyright holder to take action. Obviously Amazon would prefer you bought books from them but otherwise they don't care what you do with your Kindle, it's your device. They have no interest in policing what you put on your Kindle, the idea they would do so and then inform on you is just ridiculous. The kind of system they would have to implement in order to differentiate between a legitimately bought drm-less mobi file and say a mobi converted from a drm stripped epub or a darknet download would be extraordinarily expensive. It would also be massively prone to errror. If it could be designed at all.

Then they would have to be willing to inform on you. They would have to approach the copyright holder and be willing to say that they suspect a kindle owner of maybe downloading a book or of stripping the drm from a legit one. The copyright opwner would have to go looking for evidence it was true, (which they won't find after the fact), they would then in turn have to be willing to sue you or take action for stripping the drm. Stripping drm might technically be illegal in the uk but I'd be willing to bet if a case like that ever came to court it would get laughed at.

See how ridiculous it all sounds?
