I am actually interested in finding a hack that works. I live in the Philippines. My uncle just gave me a KSO (Wi-Fi) as a gift. He bought it in the US, and had it shipped here.

Which is why I have some concerns:

1. Do the ads work here where I am? I mean, I see the preloaded ones, but apart from those, will they update in the same way as yours do? Will it show me $10 for $20 discounts, that sort of thing?

2. If not, then technically this feature is useless for me, right? Hence am thinking of hacking them and changing the images. Is this advisable? I read somewhere that if you get caught they might close your account or something like that. Although I really don't buy anything in Amazon because shipping from there to here is hell on my pocket. But I have an account and use it for wishlists and such.

3. I checked, and a lot of books still aren't available for people here in Asia Pacific area, so I would most probably just read ebooks that I already have and convert them using calibre. Even the supposedly free books (classics, etc) are not free for me - it's $2 for some titles.

4. I have the Kindle registered in my account in Amazon, with the address here in the Philippines. Should I decide to hack it, will that be detected when I have the Wi-Fi on? Should I switch the addresses in my account first (say, use my uncle's)?

Thanks in advance for your help.
