Good grief, there are rules for the use of the word jailbreak? Did apple patent that word too. Or maybe it should be ijailbreak?
Amazon have stated that hacking doesn't void your warranty. It does violate the terms of service which means potentially they could cancel your account. Doesn't cost other consumers a cent..

Amazon replaced my hacked kindle. They couldn't care less about the hack. Because, believe it or not, the hacks do not cause the buttons to stick. And physical issues are the main reason why kindles are replaced.

Third - Amazon most likely won't realize your Kindle is hacked (prior to refunding, anyway). So take advantage of the internet's premier e-retailer as you see fit (sleep tight, BTW).

Forth - Stop hacking your stuff as it voids your warranty. If you want free replacement warranty service, guess what? If you're hacked, you're screwed. Maybe this will serve as a lesson learned if Amazon denies your return because of your "jailbreak." I hope all hacked devices sent in for warranty repair/replacement are flat out refused. Makes sense.

I wish you the best and hope antics like this don't result in higher prices for everyone else.
