The KDK conditions don't explicitly forbid this from happening. Assuming that people aren't going to hammer it and use it all the time, it should be possible to make it as a free Kindle application that doesn't require purchase. The KDK limits free applications to a small amount of download a month as they need to cover costs.

Doing it via WiFi should also be possible because of services that Google and Skyhook Wireless run to look up a WiFi AP BSSID and give a location.

That said, I've no idea if the KDK actually lets you access this information. If it doesn't then it will have to be a hack or something Amazon does themselves.
