If you're on the 3G connection then it will always go through an Amazon proxy to leave the Whispernet network. You can't not go through one if you want to use the Amazon provided 3G SIM as the Whispernet external gateway/firewall blocks any other external connections. If you're using WiFi then it will go out direct.

Wikipedia + Kindle store should be accessible everywhere. Some countries have restrictions on going to other websites but that is down to cost of the data connection and not censorship by the local country or Amazon.
Article view is a local Javascript thing. It is based on
Readability. Safari's Reader Mode is also based on the same script.
[edit]Hah. charonme gave me karma with the comment "off topic trolling". Classic. If you want to make snide comments to me then the karma system isn't the way to do it especially since it says who you are.
I'm still unsure why you're not getting the fact that everything works for an unregistered Kindle except collections which as you've pointed out can be hacked, the Kindle store and the syncing. Neither of which can be hacked for obvious reasons. Thats it for restrictions. Nothing else.[/edit]
