Its against the terms of use for the Kindle and the associated Whispernet service.
Sorry to bump an ancient thread, but this is wrong. You can use the Kindle as a "hotspot" for your computer. You can tether a Kindle like you would a cell phone. I found this out when tryng to figure out if the Kindle's web browser was private. It's not by the way.
