IF somebody wanted to listen really, *really* desperately, they have all the tools, hardware. They have software in place that enables them to connect remotely to your Kindle and push any update they wish.
Wrong. There is no physical connection between the speaker, or the microphone, and the radio, which would be required in order for what you're saying to happen. This is why I SPECIFICALLY stated, 'connected to the radio' in my original post. So unless amazon sends someone to solder that connection physically, AND the circuitry required to control it remotely...it's not happening. Sorry.

There's plenty of issues with both the kindle and amazon for people to get legitimately riled over. Let's not throw fake ones into the pool, eh.
