Because the kindle uses someone elses network for starters. How can amazon monitor someone elses system? Why would amazon want to pay more to use for bandwith in hunting people down?

Way back in the day when Nintendo released their game system in 1985 they rigged it so that it didn't allow for 3rd parties to release things on it without their approval....until people made modchips that allowed for imported games and so on....Atari went overboard with their 7800 to the point where it had higher encryption (at the time) than NASA!

at this point with the internet there is very little way for companies to pull a fast one like what you claim. Don't you think by now EFF would have made a recommendation to not buy the kindle or by that matter the nook?
