I am not 100% sure how amazon is accessing the kindle so I am not sure what I say here is pertinent but I do have experience building and working with Linux systems for 10 years. You could go into /etc/hosts and redirect the traffic to another site or if you want to keep amazon out you could setup a rudimentary firewall using Iptables.

I have actually already considered creating a firewall for my kindle and messing around with cross compiling to get native irssi and other programs working. Something about having to use a chroot makes me itch.
