another example in such logic. Look at sony the PS3 and PSN, you own the hardware but when you created a PSN account you entered a ToS that affects the Console usage... by signing up for PSN you agreed to not modify the Console's Sofware contentin anyway shape or form that isnt authorised by sony. violat eit.. and you get banned from PSN
Amazon is implying the same. when you got the KSO Kindle. and Registered it with your amazon account you agreeded to the ToS to not violate, dismantle reverse engineer remove add or therwise affect the Ads , Kindle OS or Offical Kindle/Amazon software.. this doesnt mean you cannot add books non amazon store bought. but to continue using the Storefront your Kindle must remain Intact, Otherwise they have the right to ban it and perma Blacklist it's Serial.
as well when you remove or disable the Ads just never turn Wifi on again.. because the moment it phones home.. its going to "Report to big brother" that the ads cannot function
thers nothing any of us can do to stop you from violating the agreement between you and Amazon, (the one when you purchased the KSO) but common how much of an Annoyance can a ad on a screensaver and the tiny banner on the home menu be to you? they arent FORCING you to stop reading every so often to see them,, they are showing up in the books, or require you view them anytime beyond screensaver and home menu.

True the HARDWARE of the device is but Not the software so modifyng it that way legally you are entitled to but like any ToS of this nature.. once you "Screw" with it you cant seek any help whatsoever. At all should you brick your kindle you Cannot recieve any help What so ever from amazon..hell they'd have the right should you try to Keep it and not even return it.
