No. Those clauses in the agreement are to prevent somebody from reverse engineering the Kindle to make a low cost clone. Amazon have done the hardware and software development already so somebody else cloning it could make a cheaper product as they don't need to recoup those costs. You'll find similar clauses for most software and hardware.

You own the Kindle hardware and you can do whatever you want with it just don't try to make a copy of it. The worst that happens is that you void the warranty if it still has one.
