The enclosed documentation claims I enter into an agreement merely by using the product I just bought; I don't accept that. Maybe the DMCA includes language that supports these tactics, but even if it does I am confident some future court will strike it down.

I don't see anything in the Kindle 'terms' (www.amazon.com/kindle/terms) relating to ads. There's just a blanket statement that "You may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Kindle or the Software." Really? I own this product but I can't modify it? Not even engrave my name on the case?

Maybe the TV networks claim we can't record a show and skip the commercials. Sorry, Charlie.

My conscience is clear; I bought the device, I own it, I can modify it.
I have nothing against removing ads or people who do. If I said something to make it seem like I have something against people who do, I apologize.
