Amazon has not gone after those who make DRM removal tools - they've gone after MR and those who make it possible to use libraries and buy books at places other than Amazon.
From which it seems that they don't want you to read library books or purchase books elsewhere. They seem perfectly happy for you to remove DRM from books you buy from them.
Actions, actions. They're the only way to judge.

Fair enough, except that I think I'm judging this issue on Amazons STATED intentions, not just what I THINK their intentions are.
But they could be lying in the letter.
Indeed, my one take-away from college psych classes was "if there is a discrepancy between the way someone acts and what they say, believe how they act."
But we're talking about the (presumably) considered actions of a corporation, not the psychology of an individual.
I'd reply the same way the the user did in the other link you posted. "Your letter said you want X. Fine. But you demanded Y, which has nothing to do with X."
Maybe that would hold up in court, if MR felt like throwing money and time away fighting it.
