Certainly there is a difference. However, whatever the situation may be in the US, it is an undeniable fact that using someone's WiFi network without permission is a crime in the UK (which is what this thread is about), and that people can be - and have been - prosecuted for it.
However, given that this is something which is impossible to do "accidentally" with the Kindle 3, I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it.
